Bug#242895: drivers/usb/emi26_fw.h has a non-free license



Package: kernel-source-2.4.25
Version: 2.4.25-1
Severity: serious

The file drivers/usb/emi26_fw.h carry the license below:
/*
 * This firmware is for the Emagic EMI 2|6 Audio Interface
 *
 * The firmware contained herein is Copyright (c) 1999-2002 Emagic
 * as an unpublished work. This notice does not imply unrestricted
 * or public access to this firmware which is a trade secret of Emagic,

 * This firmware may not be modified and may only be used with the
 * Emagic EMI 2|6 Audio Interface. Distribution and/or Modification of
 * any driver which includes this firmware, in whole or in part,

 */

Do we have Emagic's written consent to distribute it ?

This file is #include'd in the drivers/usb/emi26.c GPL module by
Tapio Laxström.
