Quoting Oleg Goldshmidt, from the post of Thu, 27 Jan:
 

What's the binary part? I don't see anything binary in the aic7xxx
tree. Everything is under GPL except one module which is unde Dial
BSD/GPL.
There are CLI RAID tools that Adaptec distribute as binaries, but that's
unrelated.
   

can't remember at the moment if it's a firmware block or whatever it
was, but it is not included in the kernel tree because of licensing
reasons.
It's neither. It's a binary only driver called "a320raid". Damn.
Red Hat includes it directly from Adaptec's site because their
views of free software are a bit different lately I guess.
No, they don't. I haven't managed to install RedHat AS3 either, nor FC3. 
I'm just as stuck with those.

Oddly this is
the first non-free driver to come out of Adaptec in years, I don't know
what came over THEM either.
 

There were some references on the web citing some licensing issues. Go 
figure.

Being as it is that I bought this machine, for quite a bundle I might 
add, with an explicit promise that it is Linux certified, I'm not sure 
I'm not going to ship it right back now.
