This (linux-firmware) isn't being distributed as part of the kernel, or even with the kernel; it's being distributed separately right? When these particular firmwares were being distributed in-kernel, the license would've been fine.. The license needs to be adjusted to replace "as part of" with "for use with" or some similar change. My interpretation of this is the concern you had also, ulm? Apologies for jumping in without fully reading the backlog (it seems to have been going on for days) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlEmXQEACgkQ2ugaI38ACPA3rwEApkmWZZISrLyB1RoFEOG+KsoS vlalAvqcQr82mdIZ5qYBAKYziTD2OcHQ47SwaOegmooaPqHSHRj9P5G1APoNSpMr =erNV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
