A recent discussion on the <http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/4061>OpenBSD 
-misc mailing list focused on the project's efforts to initiate 
communication with Texas Instruments to try and get them to offer the 
firmware for one of their wireless chipsets under an open license 
[<http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/4061>story]. The goal is not to get the 
company to open source their firmware, just to license it in such a way 
that it can be legally distributed with OpenBSD, an operating system that 
prides itself on being 100% free. TI is only one of many companies 
currently being approached in this recent effort
