Few months later, is there any progress? Can we expect:

1) Easier licensing of currently provided firmware (see Fedore case)

I think we can forget this whole business. It seems that Broadcom is
content with their business model, even though knowledgeable Linux
users are avoiding their products like the plague.

Broadcom will not release old firmware with redistributable license,
because of legal concerns, which are ridiculous for everyone except
them.
