Hello Era,
AFAIU Unity https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity is more of a
desktop environment and has nothing to do with this issue.
There currently is no package named linux-firmware-free for Ubuntu on
launchpad to reopen any bug. The Ubuntu packages are called linux-
firmware and linux-fi
So in other words this is a bug in Unity Linux (which as per

the Ubuntu linux-firmware-free package) for including a non-free driver;

driver. A reasonabl
I'm glad to accept that you have no personal interest in pursuing this.
That's fine since AFAIU you are not the sole maintainer of the linux-
firmware package. Yet I do hope that maybe someone else from the Ubuntu
kernel-team may find interest in this.
Debian already splits all non-free firmware
The Ubuntu linux-firmware package is based on the upstream repository
mentioned in comment #19. Perhaps you should try convincing Ben
Hutchings or David Woodhouse of your position. I've little interest in
pursuing this.

It may be so that adding the license information is sufficient to comply
