    Ok, thanks for that info.  Subtracting the drivers this is ~5k LOC,
    right?

Two ways of dealing with ths include (1) contacting the developers and
asking then to relicense, and (2) writing a replacement (it's not that
big).

The FSF can't offer to rewrite it, but we could halp find any 
developers who are now difficult to contact.
