| 9 | This repository contains all these firmware images which have been | |
| 10 | extracted from older drivers, as well various new firmware images which | |
| 11 | we were never permitted to include in a GPL'd work, but which we _have_ | |
| 12 | been permitted to redistribute under separate cover. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | To submit firmware to this repository, please send either a git binary | |
| 15 | diff or preferably a git pull request to: | |
| 16 | David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> | |
| 17 | Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> | |
| 18 | and also cc: to related mailing lists. | |

| 20 | Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly | |
| 21 | identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and | |
| 22 | that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's | |
| 23 | permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the | |
| 24 | WHENCE file. | |
| 25 | And if it were possible, a changelog of the firmware itself. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone | |
| 28 | authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from | |
| 29 | within the company that owns the code). | |

| 32 | WARNING: | |
| 33 | ======= | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Don't send any "CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT" in your e-mail, patch or | |
| 36 | request. Otherwise your firmware _will never be accepted_. | |

| 38 | Maintainers are really busy, so don't expect a prompt reply. |
