Bill, would you be so kind as to explain why? I've read all of the LICENSE file
again and again, and don't see anything incompatible with the current "binary
firmware" exception, so I must be missing something.

Some of the relevant parts :
"For OEMs, IHVs, and ISVs: [...] (ii) copy and distribute the Software
to your end-users, but only under a license agreement with terms at least as
restrictive as those contained in Intel's Final, Single User License Agreement,
attached as Exhibit A"

"Your rights to redistribute the Software shall be contingent upon your
installation of this Agreement in its entirety in the same directory as the
Software." (which is why the package puts the LICENSE in the same directory as
the firmware itself)

I see that sub-licensing is clearly forbidden, is this the problem? I don't
think we sub-license, but rather redistribute with the same license, which
shouldn't be a problem. But of course, IANAL and probably don't understand all
these legal terms properly...
