It is quite a sticky issue, and should probably receive some attention by
someone with some legal knowledge. AFAICT NetBSD may be eligible to
redistribute it but certainly not under the BSD license.

This may be a minor problem, but I think it would be good if this was
integrated into the source tree, provided users were alerted to the fact
they need the seperate firmware.
