Hopefully, this was just an oversite and should have been changed when published to GitLab TuxThePenguin0/bes2600 repo:

@u974615
Thanks for pointing this out. I found the license you mentioned in these two files.

RE: bes2600 driver - explit - 03-15-2024
Hello guys! Since we have a new bes2600 driver and also new kernel 6.6.13 and 6.8.0 (danctnix-testing) i aske me, what need to be done to get a stable, permanent MAC Address?
I have a whitelist in my router, and i want to have only 1 MAC address for my PineTab2.
it would be very helpful for the community.

Could you please talk to them about the licensing on the txrx_opt.c and txrx_opt.h files? The license header states a proprietary, GPL-incompatible license, so it ought to be fixed.
On the licensing topic, this needs to discuss with BES management team.
Any progress on this?
RE: bes2600 driver - diederik - 03-29-2024
In addition to the license situation wrt the driver, it's also unclear if or under what conditions the firmware can be distributed.
https://gitlab.com/pine64-org/bes2600-firmware does contain the firmware files, but no license/redistribution statement.
Ideally the firmware would be submitted to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git (f.e. via a MR on https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linux-firmware/), but that should also contain a license/redistribution statement (added to WHENCE).
Otherwise it can't be distributed at least with Debian.

Hi, is there a repository of documentation for the BES2600 in the community? I reached out to Bestechnic but have not heard back.

I am happy to see that there is another recent push into getting the WiFi driver out of the license limbo.
