@Colin Watson I just noticed linux-firmware-nonfree now includes the b43 firmware? Did the legal situation get resolved? Is redistribution now allowed? This would be very good news for everyone, but I just checked http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Firmware and http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and both still say that redistribution of the b43 firmware is illegal!?
It appears from changelog [0] that Tim Gardner added the b43 firmware files to linux-firmware-nonfree back in September 2011, so I'm surprised that nobody has noticed this yet.
