Yes, I've read this. >> What legal advice did you receive that made you determine that it is >> illegal to distribute them? > > IANAL, and I am the wrong one to address, see above. sorry. I'm just trying to understand the "not legal to distribute". Steve states: "Neither the release managers nor the ftp masters believe that the sourceless GPL firmware shipped with the kernel poses a legal problem for Debian." If you feel there is some legal problem I'd like to understand it as I also do not see a legal problem. Otherwise, I think it's better if we don't appeal to a legal justification as that often just causes fear and uncertainty.
