+2.5: Does FreeBSD support the AHA-2742/2842 SCSI adapters from Adaptec?
-No, FreeBSD does not. This is due to Adaptec's unwillingness to
-supply programming information under other than non-disclosure. This
-is unfortunate, but there's nothing we can do about it.
+Yes, though portions of the sources are currently GPL'd (that is to say,
+distributed under the GNU Public License), so be aware of the fact should
+you wish to distribute kernel binaries compiled with it - you MUST also
+provide the sources to the driver with the kernel image to stay legal
+with the GPL! This is easily enough done by simply including the contents
+of /usr/src/sys/gnu/{aic7770,misc} on whatever media you distribute the
+kernel.

+We are working to get the GPL restriction removed, but for now you should
+at least be aware of it.
