Here's the relevant statement:

   16 # Cypress Semiconductor Corporation hereby grants a copyright license to
   17 # use or redistribute this firmware image, in text or binary form as
   18 # required, only in conjunction with devices using a Cypress USB
   19 # microcontroller.  Every copy in any form of the firmware shall include
   20 # Cypress copyright legends.

Frankly I don't think this gives us any right at all to distribute the
a3load.hex file, since there is essentially no chance that the file will be
distributed with a Cypress USB microcontroller.  However, I'm not a lawyer, and
there may be finer meanings of "in conjunction with" that I'm not familiar 
with.  

Blocking FE-Legal to get a final ruling.  But note that there's no question that
this package with the a3load.hex stripped out of the source tarball (so that
it's not present in the SRPM) is OK for Fedora.
