Distinguishing between free and non-free firmware would be ok with me but I am not going to invest any work in that. I think the bindist flag is suitable for toggling the download of non-redistributable firmware. Possibly SRC_URI for the non-redistributable files can point to upstream gitweb. Although I don't know happy upstream will be when hordes of Gentoo users start hammering their servers. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
