And ALL ralink fw licenses are the _same_. Source code, web and zip_files

No, you are wrong.
The source code is GPL, the firmware files are not.
For me this is the last time I'll write about this.

Thanks for checking Luis. So we can leave everything as it is right now, as there are
no different names for the firmware.
Now to convince the staging people that they have done the wrong thing by creating rt3070.bin, etc. :-(

To be completely honest, I have no idea of what's in linux-firmware.git .
We, the rt2x00 project, do not distribute firmware files with the
driver, it's up to the various distributions to deal with this.

Great, are these newer versions of the ones in linux-firmware.git? Can
