As anyone familiar with the Linux wireless scene before 2006 knows, Broadcom, which manufacturers the wireless chipsets found in many laptops, was for a long time synonymous with everything evil about closed-source software. That’s changing. Here’s how.

Nice find, though I'm not to sure Canonical should take the whole of the credit as implied by the article.
I think the growth in cheap Linux based notebooks might just be a market that Broadcom can't ignore, and being more open might get its chipsets built into some of the growing number of notebooks.
