The activist in me feels that the effort should be under way to write 
FCC-non-compliant open source drivers for it, and make them damned good. 
 Host them offshore if you have to, but fight every bloody inch.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an 
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it 
to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the 
possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of 
it."  -- Thomas Jefferson
