It's not only in Arch, Debian/Ubuntu/OpenSUSE say the same thing. 
Anyway..
It's the header in all src files at /drivers/staging/brcm80211/:

  Hello,
  My wifi card (Broadcom 4313 - 0x4727) is currently

unsupported by
  OpenBSD.
  But in Arch linux, modinfo brcm80211 (the
driver for
 this card) shows
  that its BSD/GNU licensed:
  ...
 
filename:
 

/lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/kernel/drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcm80211.ko.gz
 
license:Dual BSD/GPL
  description:Broadcom 802.11n wireless LAN
  driver.
  author: Broadcom Corporation
  alias:
 
pci:v14E4d4727sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
  alias:
 
pci:v14E4d4353sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
  alias:
 
pci:v14E4d4357sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
  depends:mac80211,cfg80211
 
...
 
  I
  just want to know if someone is aware of that fact,
 and if
the proper support
  is in the TODO list.
  Thaks!
 
 I think the Arch
Linux folks lied a bit there... I've got
 the same
 wifi card, and I looked
at the driver that the Broadcom
 Corporation
 released, and it is not Dual
BSD/GPL licensed. It uses
 their own
 license.
 
 You can check it out
here:

.gz
 
 The license is in lib/LICENSE.txt

 Wow, you didn't even bother looking at the license did you?

Yes.. Because
I'm talking about brcm80211, and you are referring to other driver's license.
You didn't even bother looking at the e-mail subject did you? :D
