Thank you for your efforts, but these changes are the straight-forward
and easy part. What you've missed in your patch, is the actual
difficulty (well, not 'difficult', but extremely time-consuming and
tiresome) involved, updating debian/copyright... Upstream relicensed
from dual-licensed "GPL2 || BSD" to 3-clause BSD exclusively[1], due to
significant files movements (wpa_supplicant learning more tricks that
were usually reserved to hostapd) and quite a few new features from new
authors (like WiFi Direct/ p2p) it is not done with a mere
s/BSD\ or\ GPL-2/BSD/.

No, but the upcoming 2.2, which is currently in its final stages before
getting released upstream.

[1] I have already confirmed that there aren't any hidden licensing
problems, but reflecting that in a DEP-5 compliant debian/copyright
is everything but funny for any piece of non-trivial amount of code
with various authors.
