+ -- quote from email
+ As copyright holder, if I say it doesn't conflict with the GPL,
+ then it doesn't conflict with the GPL.
+
+ However, there's no point in causing people's brains to overheat,
+ so yes, I grant permission for the code to be relicensed under the
+ GPLv2. Please make sure that this change in licensing makes its
+ way upstream. -russ

+Permission is granted to distribute the enclosed cs89x0.[ch] driver
+only in conjunction with the Etherboot package. The code is
