I would interpret it this way. B.) have documentation that clearly states the decision (probably on the above wiki page, in the firmware-nonfree package, and maybe even have the kernel print something when attempting to load those drivers). This keyspan drivers are currently not included at all in the binary Linux images.

Bug#484177: firmware-nonfree: keyspan
Package: firmware-nonfree Version: 0.11 Severity: wishlist I'm a little unclear on the license of the keyspan firmware. On http://wiki.debian.org/KernelFirmwareLicensing it lists a note for all the keyspan stuff of 4. redistributable as part of a Linux or other Open Source operating system kernel Does that imply that a stand-alone package like firmware-nonfree would be unacceptable? Can we clear this issue up and either A.) include it in firmware-nonfree or B.) have documentation that clearly states the decision (probably on the above wiki page, in the firmware-nonfree package, and maybe even have the kernel print something when attempting to load those drivers).
