Hi Martin,

Sorry I did not chime in earlier. I have not looked at the CoreELEC 
repository for license files. Without such info I am inclined to say you 
are not licensed to redistribute the firmware. The BCM4335 is 
end-of-life for us although maybe Cypress is still selling the device 
and may want to provide a firmware update.

Regards,
Arend
