These files come from RaspberryPi Foundation, who redistributed these
firmware files without a restriction.
They support these blobs, and so do we, to ensure that hw is working
correctly (i.e. bluetooth, wlan, etc).
If and when RaspberryPi releases updates to these blobs, Foundations
team will be testing the update for regressions and updating these.
Similarly whenever new Pi boards are released.
This is similar to linux-firmware package which has previously had a
similar review to ensure that we can redistribute blobs for promotion
from multiverse->restricted.
If any blobs shipped now, or in the future, loose ability to be
redistributed we would then be forced to remove them. This is thus
similar to intel-microcode/amd64-microcode packages too.
Please promote this package from multiverse to restricted.
