Building free firmware



Some firmware used with Linux drivers has source included or otherwise
available under a DFSG-free licence.

The examples I am aware of are:
- av7110 (http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/Boot.S)
- dsp56k (firmware/dsp56k/bootstrap.asm)
- keyspan_pda (keyspan_pda/*.S)

The firmware blobs surely don't belong in firmware-nonfree, so we could
either create a new firmware-free or include them in linux-image
packages  The latter option will obviously result in large numbers of
duplicates, though so far the blobs in question are quite small.

Thoughts?

Ben.
