Which mean, for the community, that the driver be released under a Free
Software license, and if any firmware has to be uploaded to the device,
said firmware MUST be available for redistribution under terms that are
compatible with distributing Free Software. [1]
Hub
[1] it is often acknowledged that the binary firmware, which runs on the
device is not part of the driver but of the device. But preventing the
distribution of it just cause problem for users that are required to
install it by themselves. A click-through license is not compatible with
the requirement either. Take example on Intel policy with the iwl3945
driver for their wireless card.
