Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 0.11
Severity: wishlist
I'm a little unclear on the license of the keyspan firmware. On
http://wiki.debian.org/KernelFirmwareLicensing
it lists a note for all the keyspan stuff of
"4. redistributable as part of a Linux or other Open Source operating
system kernel"
Does that imply that a stand-alone package like firmware-nonfree would be
unacceptable? Can we clear this issue up and either
A.) include it in firmware-nonfree
or
B.) have documentation that clearly states the decision (probably on the
above wiki page, in the firmware-nonfree package, and maybe even have the
kernel print something when attempting to load those drivers).
Thanks,

Closing this bug as the licence for the firmware doesn't seem to allow
inclusion in firmware-nonfree.
If you or anyone else are able to sort that out, you should submit the
firmware to linux-firmware.git first as that is now the upstream project
for firmware-nonfree.

Always try to do things in chronological order;
it's less confusing that way.
