Licensing regression between versions 2.28 and 2.29

Folks,

o Up to Driverloader 2.28, I was a happy camper: my Linksys WPC54Gv2 NIC
worked perfectly in WPA-PSK mode with TKIP encryption. dldrconfig --info
reported:

<<<
Linuxant DriverLoader for Wireless LAN devices, version 2.28

Web configurator: listening on 127.0.0.1:18020

Current parameters: ("dldrconfig --info")

Wireless interface name: eth2
        MAC address    : 00:12:17:B1:48:6E
        Device instance: PCI-0000:07:00.0-104C:9066-1737:0033
        Device driver  : lstinds
        Description    : TNET1130
        License status : OK (OEM)
>>>

As you can see, Driverloader 2.28 properly recognized the TI chipset on
the NIC, and thanks to the OEM agreement between TI and Linuxant, I
didn't have to pay Linuxant directly to use Driverloader with this NIC.

o But then I upgraded to Driverloader 2.29 (that is the only thing that
changed on my system. I verified this by switching back and forth
between versions 2.28 and 2.29). Now dldrconfig --info reports:

<<<
Linuxant DriverLoader for Wireless LAN devices, version 2.29

Web configurator: listening on 127.0.0.1:18020

Current parameters: ("dldrconfig --info")

Wireless interface name: eth2
        MAC address    : 00:12:17:B1:48:6E
        Device instance: PCI-0000:07:00.0-104C:9066-1737:0033
        Device driver  : lstinds
        Description    : TNET1130
        License owner  : [email protected]
        License key    : none
        License status : INVALID

To enable the driver, enter your license information via the web
configurator at  http://127.0.0.1:18020/
or with "dldrconfig --license".

License owner and key data must EXACTLY match the information respectively
provided to and by Linuxant. Otherwise, license status will not be "OK"!

As you can see, and to my surprise, Driverloader 2.29 no longer honors
the OEM licensing agreement. What is going on?

I hope this problem can be solved soon. In the meantime, in order to be
able to continue to work with version 2.29, I requested a 30-day
evaluation key from Linuxant, which works fine:
