Hmm. My initial reading was that "you" could (1) "create, test and provide" programs for use with ALTEON network cards (2) "license the object code" of such a program provided it is restricted to use with ALTEON network cards It's obviously non-free, but -- depending on who "you" is -- could allow distribution. Looking at it closer, it suffers from being a contract, and being inherently click-wrap, and Debian can't implement click-wrap, so it's unsuitable for non-free. :-( It does look like it's probably legal for someone to make the object code for the firmware available somewhere, under that click-wrap license, as an interim measure before independent firmware is created.
