sorry, I mis-read the sentence before the BSD-style license. This
approach is fine with me, and still required with external firmware
aswell so that the distributions have a chance to ship it. It would
be nice to just add a the BSD boilerplate to each of the firmware
files directly instead of adding a LICENSE file to avoid confusion
like mine :)
