Hi all,
It seems like there's a discrepancy regarding the license of the brcmfmac/cyfmac43430 firmware or maybe I am misunderstanding something. If I look at the original source (kernel git) for the linux-firmware components the WHENCE file mentions
File: cypress/cyfmac43430-sdio.bin
Link: brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin -> ../cypress/cyfmac43430-sdio.bin
under the LICENCE.broadcom_bcm43xx (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/WHENCE#n2830) however the OE-core recipe uses a cypress license for these
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20211027.bb#n743
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20211027.bb#n762
Maybe I do not have a clear background on this and someone can explain a little. Any comments on this will be appreciated.
BR,
Awais
