Now when driver is queued for staging, can somebody add firmware files
to linux-firmware repository? Note that without firmware files, driver
not working...

I just had a look at the file for the Nokia N900
(bcm-bt-firmware-0.21rc3.tar.bz2) and I think the license is too
restrictive for linux-firmware.git. Actually I can't see any
statement allowing redistribution. For reference this is the license

Anyways, I added Ben to the discussion (maintainer of the
linux-firmware repository)

With my lingvistics hat on, this says "distribution for non-commercial
purposes is ok". (Because otherwise, they would say "Distribution not
allowed without ...")

It implies that ('the exception proves the rule'), but that's not
something I would like to rely on.
Anyway, I think that anything added to linux-firmware.git ought to be
safe to include in a commercial distribution, so a non-commercial
restriction can't be accepted.
Ben.
