| |
| 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. |
