OK, if I distribute the firmware as open source, I have to distribute
the firmware with it since the from ME build firmware IS certified to
meet exact the specifications. I have the checksums and whatelse from
the firmware blob, which I need to prove, the from me distibuted
firmware is OK. In case of problems, the original firmware blob must be
availlable
So the question is:
Does Debian distribut it together?
(the certified firmware blob and the non-certified source)
