From the COPYRIGHT file in the madwifi tarball:
* Alternatively, this software may be distributed under the terms of the
* GNU General Public License ("GPL") version 2 as published by the Free
* Software Foundation.
Even if it weren't GPL-compatible, it is not illegal to use, it is just
a breach of contract if you DISTRIBUTE non-GPLed packages bundled with
GPLed packages.
MadWifi also works great on my MacBook's wifi card.
