  Ahh right, BSD vs. GPL license.

  Can the drivers be ported with a different license if it is not included with the BSD licensed operating system?

    Absolutely.

    They partly were, they’re just not given nearly the same attention and are often terribly outdated and less engineered.

    Also they aren’t tested as thoroughly, there was a call for hardware by the FreeBSD team not that long ago that I can’t find, they simply don’t have the same kind of resources.

    Most FreeBSD dev is focused on server hardware like for Netflix and its ilk, I don’t know many other people who use it as a daily driver.
