Yes, there will be more firmware added here. Upstream is constanly wotking on
new hardware, and some of the hardware will require firmware. I didn't want to
have a subpackage for each device, because I don't want to end up with a
texlive-live situation (almost a thousand packages -- a real pain to yum
update)
I will leave it at free/nonfree for now (with the appropriate license field).
I will deal with new firmware licenses as they are added.

Thanks, I was really debating on how to name this one.

Working on improved spec/srpm...
