[Bug 49373] Re: non-free firmware in main

[Scott Dier]

Minimally, the copyright file should include the licenses for all of the
included firmware.

** Summary changed:

- non-free firmware in main
+ firmware without licenses in copyright file

** Description changed:

- 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.
-
