I also have no intention of going to Texas if Freescale thinks I did
something wrong with this firmware.  Can you ask their legal department
to have a look at some of the licences currently in linux-firmware.git,
because no-one else has insisted on stuff like this.

Most of the licences say that the firmware may be used and redistributed
for use with $vendor's products, with some or all of the restrictions:

- No modifications allowed
- No reverse-engineering
- No right to use $vendor's name for promotion

Plus the usual warranty disclaimer and requirement to keep the copyright
notice and licence text.

Ben.
