[Bug 49373] non-free firmware in main

[Scott Dier]

Public bug reported:

It appears that minimally the ipw* firmware is currently distributed in
main.

http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing

Claims that all sofware in main/ is redistributable and including source
code.

However the ipw* firmware license to end users does not allow this.
