This is not helpful. If at all this will make developing an open source driver even harder and more time consuming since this creates a similar situation to what ReactOS developers got into after the Windows source code leak happened: They had to have their code audited that no code from the illegally leaked proprietary Windows code made it into the open source React OS code (google for Clean room design if you want to know more about that). Furthermore you created a situation in which the OpenWrt community as well as other providers donating capacity to the community for carrying the mailing list involuntarily distribute or mirror this proprietary code. This is where your good intentions likely will yield bad results.
