It's actually got nothing to do with me, we ship what goes into the
upstream linux-firmware repository. There's generally agreed legal
requirements for re-distribution of firmwares that go into that
upstream repository and if they don't conform to that requirement they
can't be redistributed by linux distros. This is nothing to do with
me, Fedora (or Red Hat legal) liking or disliking the license, I can
only presume, and may well be wrong here, that's it's the Linux
Foundation legal team that deal with those, either way they're not
there so it's a problem.
