They're hardly the only ones:

http://www.wlanbook.com/oui-mac-address-lookup-tool/

(and those are just the publicly disclosed ones; other geolocation
providers do this as well.)

Furthermore, they're logging AP MACs, not endpoint MACs as the Reg
article implies.

It should be pretty easy to modify OpenWRT to randomize the AP MAC
address.
