Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hplip
COPYING assigns licenses to various files, but data/firmware/* does not
have any license.
Since firmware does not have any source code and thus is not available
in the "preferred form of modification) (as mandated by the GPL), these
files should be distributed under the BSD license. This is something
upstream has to explicitly change, there is nothing we can do about it
ourselves (short of repackaging the tarball to throw out the firmware).
