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: | |
a4f3bc03 | 16 | linux-firmware@kernel.org |
9b414888 XVP |
17 | and also cc: to related mailing lists. |

19 | If your commit adds new firmware, it must update the WHENCE file to |
20 | clearly state the license under which the firmware is available, and | |
d3cf09a9 LR |
21 | that it is redistributable. Being redistributable includes ensuring |
22 | the firmware license provided includes an implicit or explicit | |
23 | patent grant to end users to ensure full functionality of device | |
24 | operation with the firmware. If the license is long and involved, it's | |
9b414888 | 25 | permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the |
9c71af93 | 26 | WHENCE file ('See LICENSE.foo for details.'). |

27 | And if it were possible, a changelog of the firmware itself. |

29 | Run 'make check' to check that WHENCE is consistent with the |
30 | repository contents. | |

32 | Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone |
33 | authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from | |
34 | within the company that owns the code). | |

37 | WARNING: | |
38 | ======= | |
39 | ||
40 | Don't send any "CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT" in your e-mail, patch or | |
41 | request. Otherwise your firmware _will never be accepted_. | |
