I semi-agree with you except for one issue, we are the ones creating this package. Upstream offers a git repo but no tarball. So if we stop distributing it then that kinda kills the package. Maybe a bug for which firmware are not-redistributable and I can remove them from our package? I want people to have working systems but following the law is a bit more important. - -Zero -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRI4m/AAoJEKXdFCfdEflKhaAP/0unuFNO7jXVkdrcaIHCKUsK IzMqxhmBKP677NcBDZAUCqagvMy1k+KFwWip7wnv7U9iT0FBLIQHtMg262gjfy2g Hs4+pIO969Ki4UrB+LySbrk8uUDJjMS8r/z4pOMawOnK2CTSdfADG0RV9bdRnwtw f8uxepe3qKrQYyT1ZZVyjv0BTX5zFVCIOd/D5/45dqHWL4ZpCji+bUiQUUA7RIlC 3nmgeuQMP3eVuaO9qfPo/orUXYyhQPown8jIfp2mkYyUhyGPRqmB4eKi8sZDT+Qx xaWgJ14WRyUYe4ViHKtCZAQmQRn6N6b08XMWgxDuyeMRWjDywRCnlvZ1W31fGWzP fS+QgQ8AN1vPYmmbvma4n1lbTolS1q5ZvHeb9ph4/tJH9dmC0+Way4jfbzL0zWz2 Eurogs1aKLM+pk/l3PcX5yeKppyMcoyHrOl5nI7ljt5HJ2fUmm9znV/BBd/txVNj +deI5CYZs3BDinC7Y4VICdI6BZvti6z0ygdtTTipU1FhMVaVcij8Kq4Jy3UKuR7p +L22mXgmxpIYyA3aYNyX0N/OTWuaBfCV3KS3ZVr0Tn5/X3UuZbB76Nl390FBt+6u muXfGKQXN5PNuIZ1n6FsVaQtxQbWU8lJHRZ5PVRrt3In3ppjl0pVtJ+O+lY2PAhM OP0Jn027y5VTwYvMZMoL =GcLu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
