[Bug 179139] Re: Intel Wireless Restrictions: ipw2100, ipw2200 are not Free

[Stefan Nagy]

I don't really get it...

1. On the kernel-team mailing list Yingying Zhao from Intel writes on
Jan 05 2009 "We need to release the EULA together with the binary
firmware in Ubuntu images to resolve this legal issue. Packaging the
license files for ipw* and iwl* firmware in the "linux-firmware" is a
proper solution." (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-
team/2009-January/003996.html)  - And that's what happend.

2. In February Jeremy Foshee writes that Intel changed their licensing
(see comment #12).

3. The firmware terms and conditions
(http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=7) aswell as the
'Firmware Licence FAQ' (http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware_faq.php)
- which were last updated on Jun 09 2010 - state something completely
different. As I understand it the licence never changed.

Can please someone clearify this? Is this bug fixed?
