It’s legal, but it’s not allowed because it breaks the *promise* we
(Debian) do to our users/downstreams.
That’s what this is all about.
Needing proper licences and sources is not necessary to stay legal,
or to not get sued in court, but it’s a matter of a promise.
That’s the thing that led me to accept and understand precisely why
non-free firmware must be in non-free, in Debian.
And it’s worth a lot.
