I agree. I don't see why Broadcom doesn't develop an open reference driver on an out of tree basis, according to whatever conventions they prefer, and let developers of compatible drivers use it as a reference.

That way they maintain 100% control, one code base that they can deploy across multiple operating systems, and others can do whatever they feel is appropriate for local standards, code sharing, and long term maintenance.
