I just had a look at the file for the Nokia N900
(bcm-bt-firmware-0.21rc3.tar.bz2) and I think the license is too
restrictive for linux-firmware.git. Actually I can't see any
statement allowing redistribution. For reference this is the license

Anyways, I added Ben to the discussion (maintainer of the
linux-firmware repository)
