Hmm... Licence GPLv2 actually means that you would be releasing the
source code for the firmware, but you're actually granting license
for using your binary firmwares. So, you need to correct the licensing
terms here. There are several models that you can follow at the
WHENCE file and at the LICENCE.* files for binary only firmwares.

Just to help you to decide, there are 3 models of licence commonly
used by media drivers:

Model 1:

 Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software, only
 for use with ITE ICs, for any purpose with or without fee is hereby
 granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this permission
 notice appear in all source code copies.

Model 2:

 Permission is hereby granted for the distribution of this firmware
 as part of Linux or other Open Source operating system kernel
 provided this copyright notice is accompanying it.

Model 3:

 ITE grants permission to use and redistribute these firmware
 files for use with IT devices, but not as a part of the Linux
 kernel or in any other form which would require these files themselves
 to be covered by the terms of the GNU General Public License.
 These firmware files are distributed in the hope that they will be
 useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty
 of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Regards,
Mauro
