--- Begin Message --------BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Dear Linux-Firmware-Maintainers, as reported in the Debian bug report #854880[1] (mail attached below), the firmware files ath9k_htc/htc_7010-1.4.0.fw, ath9k_htc/htc_9271-1.4.0.fw has been created using GPL components and thus the source code has to be included. Can you please take a look on the issue? IMHO it is the best to fix this directly in the upstream linux-firmware repository.
