As David O'Brien mentioned, it's best to ask on the SCSI list about SCSI
stuff.
In any case, the license on the driver for their Ultra-Wide controllers has
not always been a BSD-style license. It used to have one file with a
BSD-style license, one file with a proprietary license, and one file with
no license.
Thomas Graichen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has been working on getting both
of Initio's drivers into FreeBSD. This may explain why Initio has fixed
the copyright on their Ultra-Wide driver. (Their Ultra2 driver never had a
copyright problem.) You may want to contact Thomas and see how things are
going.
