I did a quick package review:
- orig.tar.gz contains microcode extracted from Windows drivers. README
says
The files located under the 'ucode' directory were derived from
usbsnoop/sniffusb tracing of various Windows drivers, including some named
Mvc25u870.sys, 5U870CAP.sys, and R5U870FLx86.sys.
There is no license statement at all, thus these are unredistributable.
Please delete the package from your PPA as soon as possible, since it
makes us a target for a copyright infringement lawsuit.
If these files can indeed be redistributed freely (as in beer), please
refer to the license and provide a copy in the package as well.
I advise to repack the orig.tar.gz to not include the firmware, and
instead provide some scripts to automate the extraction from a Windows
driver CD as much as possible.
- orig.tar.gz does not have a copy of the licenses (GPL 2 in
particular). README refers to "COPYING" which does not exist.
