If he's Canadian, the FCC has no authority over what he can and cannot do. The Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission would be a more appropriate government agency to worry about.

Really free Atheros driver for Linux Posted Nov 16, 2006 12:37 UTC (Thu) by N0NB (guest, #3407) [Link] I did allude to this in my first sentence, but since I am a citizen of the USA, I wrote from the perspective of what I know. Administrations in other countries may care or may not and likely will handle things differently.
Like most everyone, I am cheering for fully free drivers. I just don't want someone finding themselves in court defending themselves out of ignorance for writing a driver that is considered to be in violation of federal and perhaps international radio regulations. Forewarned is forearmed.
