I semi-agree with you except for one issue, we are the ones creating
this package. Upstream offers a git repo but no tarball. So if we stop
distributing it then that kinda kills the package.
Maybe a bug for which firmware are not-redistributable and I can remove
them from our package? I want people to have working systems but
following the law is a bit more important.
