• Bug#1102999: ish firmware is undistributable

    From Ben Hutchings@21:1/5 to because it on Sun Apr 13 18:20:01 2025
    Source: firmware-nonfree
    Version: 20240709-1
    Severity: serious
    Tags: upstream

    It seems like no-one actually read LICENCE.ish, because it says:

    3 CONFIDENTIALITY. The terms of this Agreement and the
    Material are Intel confidential information and subject to your
    valid corporate non-disclosure agreement with Intel (CNDA).
    Except as authorized in Section 2.1, you must not disclose this
    information to anyone, including the U.S. government. This
    Agreement will not become effective, or will automatically
    terminate, in the absence of a CNDA. This Agreement will take
    precedence in the event of a conflict with the CNDA.

    So not only should the firmware not have been sent to linux-firmware
    under this licence, but the licence text itself should not have been
    sent either.

    We have not yet included this firmware in a binary package but is
    still present in the source package.

    I have reported this upstream and expect that the licence will be
    fixed, but in the mean time it should be excluded from the source
    package.

    Ben.
