I haven't followed the discussion close enough to know if there's been
discussion about single-license BSD vs dual BSD/GPL.

At the very least, please start the process of getting it changed.

Also, I see now that this isn't even a clean GPL v2, given "Unless you
and Broadcom..." language. I see the bnx2x driver had that in the
past, but none of the Kona contributions did. I strongly suggest
sticking to the normal copyrights here and not making things more
complicated than they have to.
