Bug#484177: firmware-nonfree: keyspan

[Matt Taggart <taggart@debian.org>]

Package: firmware-nonfree
Version: 0.11
Severity: wishlist

I'm a little unclear on the license of the keyspan firmware. On

  http://wiki.debian.org/KernelFirmwareLicensing

it lists a note for all the keyspan stuff of

"4. redistributable as part of a Linux or other Open Source operating 
system kernel"

Does that imply that a stand-alone package like firmware-nonfree would be 
unacceptable? Can we clear this issue up and either

A.) include it in firmware-nonfree
or
B.) have documentation that clearly states the decision (probably on the 
above wiki page, in the firmware-nonfree package, and maybe even have the 
kernel print something when attempting to load those drivers).

Thanks,
