alsa-firmware from medibuntu can be uninstalled if linux-firmware

As alsa-firmware is not distributed in restricted by Ubuntu, Medibuntu
hosts it with several other restricted codecs or applications. If

to include all alsa-firmware in linux-firmware, so alsa-firmware could

So then the question is, why isn't snd-asihpi.ko included in the linux-

adding the firmware? How could there be a difference between the linux-

David,
Thanks for this answer. Please consider that for the alsa-firmware in
Medibuntu, we already have done a licence check: contacting vendors,
checking that every file needed is included, and so, wipe out some of
the firmwares.
The current version in Lucid + Medibuntu of alsa-firmware,
Eliot,
Is it possible that other sound card firmwares may be already included
in linux-backports-modules ? So perhaps it is not necessary to maintain
alsa-firmware in Medibuntu ?

Thanks David.
there is not a good enough license information for asihpi in alsa-
firmware, so we can't move it right over. I'm sure Eliot can help sort
this out
I expect I can. The licence in alsa-firmware was considered 'good
enough' at the time,
For reference, here it is.
I just took a look at the current license, and it's good enough for
inclusion in linux-firmware. I'll work on moving this over. Note that
when the package is uploaded, the firmware will need to be removed from
the alsa-firmware package to prevent file conflcts.
Thanks for bringing this forward!
I was assuming that the driver for this firmware was in kernel or at
least a part of an Ubuntu package somewhere. I haven't been able to find
anything other than a link to the beta drivers tarball at [1] (the
current drivers link is broken). Is this available in an Ubuntu package
somewhere?
I'm
Now I remember what I found peculiar about the license. It is the line
that says Distributable under GPL which confuses me. GPL, as in Gnu
General Public License, is a license which requires the source code to
be distributed (or made available) - but there is no source code (at
least not any
so it means that alsa-firmware will be a sub-package of linux-firmware

I'm not sure where you got that impression. Can you be more specific?
The alsa-firmware package is not part of Ubuntu even, so there should be
no hard coded interaction between the two.

@Toine: The long term goal is that linux-firmware should include all

obsoleted. That's at least the impression I got when I talked to the
upstream maintainer of linux-firmware.

After conferring with others on the kernel team, it's best if we only
include firmware in linux-firmware for drivers that are provided by some
Ubuntu package. Since there does not appear to be a package providing
