Actually, I was talking about the .src.rpm. The only
difference is that the .src.rpm you distribute would have
the tarball already inside instead of downloading it with
wget.
I respected the request to not distribute the binary
driver.
That's fine. Plus, MeeGo is intentionally set up so that
out-of-tree kernel modules are a fragile PITA... so there's
lots of reasons why a binary distribution wouldn't work
well.
Also, I think that there are clauses in the
license that Intel where worried about and that's why it
can't be redistributed even in the non-oss repo.
Hmmm... probably this one:
"2.3. Restriction on Distribution. Licensee shall only
distribute the Software (a) under the terms of this
Agreement and a copy of this Agreement accompanies such
distribution, and (b) agrees to defend and indemnify
Broadcom and its licensors from and against any damages,
costs, liabilities, settlement amounts and/or expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with any
claim, lawsuit or action by any third party that arises or
results from the use or distribution of any and all Software
by the Licensee except as contemplated herein."
Yeah, that looks like it says, "If someone sues Autozone for
a patent that Broadcom may/may not have infringed on... then
Licensee will pay the legal bills since Autozone got it from
Licensee." Bogus!
