Maks, please don't pick up a fight with larry so quickly, this is something
that you know was coming, which all the kernel team knew was coming, and the
release team also was aware of as shown with the past hints from Andreas
Barth, wearing his RM hat, about this.

Notice that i was the first who started this and contacted broadcom, but then
Andres did most of the follow up work on this, and as said, it makes those
firmware again distributable, but not free enough to enter main.

I am dubious though that the wiki page can easily be modified to look as
nicely as the page larry provided, but then i am no wiki expert, so i will let
others comment who are more wiki experts (jonas maybe ?).

Friendly,

Sven Luther
