Package: ipw2100-source Severity: normal Hi,
The code for ipw2100 is free software. To load the driver you'll need a firmware which is non-free and subject to an EULA (for details see http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=2). Debian cannot thus distribute this thing (the firmware), neither in main nor in non-free. Now the point is: the source code itself doesn't need the firmware to be built, but the resulting modules are completely useless without it. So should this package go in contrib, or is it allowed to stay in main? Thanks, Guido PS This is not RC because I'm not completely sure PPS CC-ing debian-legal to have a hint... -- Guido Trotter Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Public PGP key available on: http://www.cs.unibo.it/~trotter/
