To clarify, I have not received a response from either of the two
emails I've sent (one to FreeBSD's vendor-relations group to inquire
about their agreement with Intel, the other to an individual at Intel
who was cited by OpenBSD's intel wifi documentation).
I don't currently have the time to track down another individual at
Intel - but I could perhaps again in the future. If someone else would
like to pick this up, please feel free.
