In the kernel specifically, I think 'Redistributable, no modification
permitted' resulted from a bugzilla ticket filed many years ago by
Alexandre Oliva where he pointed out that 'GPLv2' as the kernel
license tag was incorrect because there was some firmware hex code in
at least one source file (this was some years after the creation of
the linux-firmware repository upstream). I remember verifying that he
was correct but I wonder if that code is still in the kernel today.
