Ohhh, nice. I was looking for exactly such a file, but I was looking at a too-old copy of linux-firmware.git -- that seems to have appeared in the last few months. > At least submitting it to the firmware repo (so from NXP sight a third > party repo) sounds like some permission for distribution. Reading that doc: actually, no, that doc seems to suggest otherwise. It specifically delineates various "terms that will cause rejection", and it seems the current NXP license triggers several of those. NXP would almost certainly need to provide an updated license, not just a sign-off with their existing license. This seems entirely up to NXP to unblock. If they want to work within the open source community, then they need to learn to work with the rules of that community. Brian
