The recipe license on linux-firmware is the giant string above. Each package sets its own license to reflect the license of the contents, apart from linux-firmware-carl9170. As the license on the firmware isnt the same as the license for the entire source package, it should set the license explicitly. 72095 2 wei.tee.ng 2017-04-05 06:50:50 +0000 Input from Ross Burton: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ is the upstream source that we download. There's a carl9170-1.fw file which is the pre-compiled firmware, and a carl9170fw directory which contains the source (fimware with source! very unusual). A license summary for linux-firmware is in the WHENCE: Driver: carl9170 -- Atheros AR9170 802.11 draft-n USB driver File: carl9170-1.fw Version: 1.9.6 Source: carl9170fw/ Downloaded from http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170 Licence: GPLv2. Some build scripts use t> he New BSD (3-clause) licence.. See GPL-2 for details. (why they named it WHENCE is beyond me, it's like they're being to be difficult) So, the license is GPLv2. This can be confirmed by looking at carl9170fw/COPYRIGHT which also says GPLv2. 72519 3 ross.burton 2017-04-14 14:34:29 +0000 That's not what waitforupstream is for. 72577 4 ross.burton 2017-04-18 09:39:07 +0000 When closing a bug, please mention which commit it was resolved in.
