"...as part of a Linux (...) *kernel*." This (linux-firmware) isn't |
| 14 |
being distributed as part of the kernel, or even with the kernel; it's |
| 15 |
being distributed separately right? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
When these particular firmwares were being distributed in-kernel, the |
| 18 |
license would've been fine.. The license needs to be adjusted to |
| 19 |
replace "as part of" with "for use with" or some similar change. |

My interpretation of this is the concern you had also, ulm? Apologies |
| 22 |
for jumping in without fully reading the backlog (it seems to have |
| 23 |
been going on for days) |
