Thanks a lot for the reference. This discussion could be moved to the V2

I remember that this has been brought up a while back and I did check 
with the Cypress bluetooth team about it. The answer I got is that the

team couldn't even locate these files in our server. So, unfortunately 
we cannot modify the license for firmware files that are not released by us.
