I used the microcode from Intel's proprietary Linux driver, which is
definetely not GPL'ed. I'm not nearly a copyright expert, but it seems to me
that Intel put a BSD-like copyrihght on mentioned sources. Intel's copyright
is included in rcvbundle.h, so I hope some of BSD "legals" can check on that,
and if in any doubt the simplest thing to do would be asking Intel for their
position before including the code in a official distributon.
