Package: kernel
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

The files
* sound/oss/ymfpci_image.h
* sound/pci/ymfpci/ymfpci_image.h
(which are bascially identical)
consist of sourceless microcode, with no copyright statement or permission
to distribute.  These are probably undistributable.

This probably means that the whole ymfpci driver (both versions) is unusable,
since the driver appears to reinstall the image even after a temporary
suspend/resume-type power-down.  :-P

(The alternative, as usual, is to rewrite it to use userland loading, but I
have absolutely no idea how to write such a thing.)

the "offended" firmware is stripped in linux-2.6 since
aboves metioned version.

stop reopening that bug if you are not a MAINTAINER
nor have any valid piece of info that it has *not* been
dealt with.

if you find additional DFSG violations report a new bug.
