This is good news, but let's wait until we see this "(new) BSD-like license" - since it's "(new)" and may not conform to our varied expectations of a standard BSD-like license. For example, will porting to other architectures be allowed? Will distribution as a firmware image be allowed? Will fees have to be paid? I'm cautiously optimistic.
