Although I found alternative sources besides the LibreELEC repo - dvb-demod-m88rs6000.fw http://www.dvbsky.net/download/linux/dvbsky-firmware.tar.gz http://palosaari.fi/linux/v4l-dvb/firmware/M88RS6000/4.1/ - dvb-demod-si2168-d60-01.fw https://launchpad.net/~b-rad/+archive/ubuntu/kernel+mediatree+hauppauge/ +sourcefiles/linux-firmware-hauppauge/0.1.8+xenial/linux-firmware- hauppauge_0.1.8+xenial.tar.gz - v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw https://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-firmwares.tar.bz2 - all of the three mentioned above https://github.com/tbsdtv/media_build/releases/download/latest/dvb- firmwares.tar.bz2 for the firmware needed here there is no license information available anywhere. > Even though I'm not sure it's totally useful, I've noticed that the > kernel ships with a scripts/get_dvb_firmware script that allows to > download some DVB firmware from various locations.

I can fully understand the need for license files but they seem out of reach. The closest "license" text I could find was for the "linux-firmware- hauppauge" launchpad.net repo mentioned by Hauppauge: https://hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_linux.html https://launchpad.net/~b-rad/+archive/ubuntu/kernel+mediatree+hauppauge/ +sourcepub/12873406/+listing-archive-extra which includes this in debian/changelog: "- Hauppauge Computer Works has redistribution rights for these firmwares" But this repo only includes one of the three files needed. On another support page Hauppauge ( http://www.hauppauge.de/site/support/ support_linux.html?n=FAQ.Linux#tv_tuner ) is linking firmware files to the OpenELEC repo: https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/, also no license infos available... > Or we need to invent a special license mechanism in Buildroot that > clarifies that the build results cannot be redistributed (which would of > course be confusing with _REDISTRIBUTE = YES/NO, which means a different > thing). What about BR2_PACKAGE_DVB_FIRMWARE_INSTALL_TARGET = NO to force users to pick the files needed by BR2_ROOTFS_POST_BUILD_SCRIPT? Privately I added the files to a rootfs overlay now, closing this topic...
