To me it seems fairly clear - freely redistributable, so long as that file is included. But I'm still not a lawyer. So I'd suggest that someone who *is* a lawyer email the folks listed in the message from comment #1: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/non-free/b/bluez-firmware/bluez-firmware_1.2-1/bluez-firmware.copyright and get someone to confirm that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

Putting that firmware in a separate bluez-firmware package would violate that license, thus, it is not freely redistributable. We need permission from Broadcom to be able to distribute this firmware without any sort of bundling restrictions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

But he's not a lawyer. Re comment #8 - This package is only needed for certain bluetooth chipsets, primarily those using the bcm203x driver. It also includes firmware for some ST Microsystems bluetooth devices, but we don't appear to ship a driver that requires that firmware - at least not in F9. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

The best thing would be a statement from Broadcom Legal saying that redistribution of their firmware is explicitly permitted. But I haven't been able to get a response from them. The debian copyright info file (see comment #1) says: The BlueZ project has permission from Broadcom Corporation to distribute this firmware in conjunction with the BlueZ GPLd tools, available in Debian as bluez-utils, as long as the notice contained in /usr/share/doc/bluez-firmware/BCM-LEGAL.txt accompanies the firmware. So - maybe these files are freely redisitributable *if* we put them in the bluez-utils package. Or maybe we're OK as long as we're also shipping bluez-utils. Guess I'll try emailing broadcom again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

- rpmlint: ok
E: bluez-firmware hardcoded-library-path /lib in configure options
this is intended and ok here.
- Naming: ok
- license: bad
There is no indication that this package is redistributable, there is only
contact information for the broadcom firmware but no information at all for the
ST Microelectronics firmware. I guess this review should block FE-Legal or you
should make upstream include license information for the firmware that states
that redistribution is allowed. The link to packages.debian.org is imho not
enough.

You can use %%{_lib} in %changelog to show the full name of the _lib macro.

The source tag should point to a full URL, here it seems that
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/bluez/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz would be the
correct one.
Did you build this package once for a 64bit arch? There %{_lib} expands to
lib64, so maybe configure should be invoked wiht --libdir=/lib, because e.g. the
ipw2000 firmware is also everytime in /lib.
./configure --libdir=/%{_lib}
