and http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/04/msg00072.html for a similar issue. Also, one year ago I made some factual research about firmwares in the Linux kernel 2.4.25. The results are here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/04/msg00074.html One of the conclusion is that several firmwares would benefit from a license clarification which explicitly allow redistribution.
