Public bug reported:

A customer reported that linux-firmware's copyright file only refers to
adaptec's license file.

Please see =>
https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.21/copyright

That being said, we are shipping many different firmware within the package. 
https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/amd64/linux-firmware/filelist


It looks like the package ships all relevant license files under 
/usr/share/doc/linux-firmware/licenses/LICENSE..... Nevertheless, the copyright 
file does not refer to them either.

There might be two possible solutions;
1) create comprehensive d/copyright file with all licenses which is very 
significant effort as there are many firmwares it is shipping.

2) update d/copyright file with license-file references from
WHENCE.ubuntu file

Could you please help addressing the issue?

Thanks
Bugra
