True. I really dislike the language of 2.3b, though: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/non-free/b/broadcom-sta/current/copyright | 2.3. Restriction on Distribution. Licensee shall only distribute the Software | (a) under the terms of this Agreement and a copy of this Agreement accompanies | such distribution, and (b) agrees to defend and indemnify Broadcom and its | licensors from and against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement amounts | and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any | claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or results from the use | or distribution of any and all Software by the Licensee except as contemplated | herein. Was that always present? Somehow I'd be glad if the ftp-masters take another look at this and/or if Broadcom could clarify the wording. I don't like to act as a buffer here, holding up the package development in arbitrary ways, but if somebody tells me that this is surely acceptable for the archive, I can enable autobuilding. (It didn't scare only me, but a quick strawpoll in #d-devel said the same.) Kind regards, Philipp Kern -- .''`.
