On: Operating Broadcom Wi-Fi Chips as Arbitrary Signal Transmitters, Like SDRs

Because it's already illegal, so the point would be a noop. On the other hand, contracting for the army is legal and one of the places where licenses may be reviewed/enforced internally.

Same for terrorism. (Also, why would terrorists respect the license)

But as parent said, "Technology has infitinite uses", so what about the other infinite uses?

Well I guess you can divide them in illegal uses (license does not matter) and legal uses (license could matter). I guess from all the legal uses, the authors disliked military etc. use enough to exclude it. Their choice.
