Hi,
drivers/net/starfire_firmware.h (licensed under GPLv2) is entirely composed
of binary firmware, such as:
static const u32 firmware_rx[] = {
0x010003dc, 0x00000000,
0x04000421, 0x00000086,
[...]
It's worth noting that the last chunk is #ifdef'ed out and not actually
used for anything.
Since this file is licensed under GPL, this could make it illegal to
redistribute it.
In either case, the presence of source-less binary code is a violation
of DFSG #2 requirement for source code availability.
