Linux firmware
|
|
==============

<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git>

|
|
|
|
This repository contains all these firmware images which have been
|
|
extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which
|
|
we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_
|
|
been permitted to redistribute under separate cover.
|
|
|
|
To submit firmware to this repository, please send either a git binary
|
|
diff or preferably a git pull request to:
|
|
linux-firmware@kernel.org
|
|
and also cc: to related mailing lists.
|
|
|
|
If your commit adds new firmware, it must update the WHENCE file to
|
|
clearly state the license under which the firmware is available, and
|
|
that it is redistributable. Being redistributable includes ensuring
|
|
the firmware license provided includes an implicit or explicit
|
|
patent grant to end users to ensure full functionality of device
|
|
operation with the firmware. If the license is long and involved, it's
|
|
permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the
|
|
WHENCE file ('See LICENSE.foo for details.').
|
|
And if it were possible, a changelog of the firmware itself.
|
|
|
|
Run 'make check' to check that WHENCE is consistent with the
|
|
repository contents.
|
|
|
|
Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone
|
|
authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from
|
|
within the company that owns the code).
|
|
|
|
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Don't send any "CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT" in your e-mail, patch or
|
|
request. Otherwise your firmware _will never be accepted_.
|

Maintainers are really busy, so don't expect a prompt reply.
