<PRE>Hi all!
I've looked in our kernel-firmware package in core/release, and found
firmware for several dozens of devices that are not OSI-free (as
previously noted but too late for mga1).
Shall I move the firmware files for the following hardware to
kernel-firmware-extra, which is in nonfree/release?
The most notable examples of affected firmware are
- ATI/AMD Radeon cards (free driver)
- Broadcom Tigon3 Gigabit Ethernet
- Intel PRO/100 Ethernet
- Matrox G200/G400/G550
As a reminder:
Debian has the non-free firmware in non-free section.
Fedora has the non-free firmware in the main (and only) section.
Ubuntu has the non-free firmware in the main section.
According to our media policy, they belong to nonfree like in Debian.
Full list below, as parsed from:
