Some parts of the driver seam to be open source under the ISC license.
For example the code for loading the firmware into the device is
available in the GPL tar of the Asus RT-AC66U in
release/src-rt-6.x/shared/dbus_*, but I do not know how tide it
interacts with the binary wl driver. Most of the code in these files can
also be found in brcmfmac.
