Title:
  LICENSE.aic94xx-seq in linux-firmware - is this firmware
  distributable?

Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Precise:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For this specific license it appears that this License is rather
  restrictive.  In clause two it appears that this package cannot be
  distributed.

  I think this is a bug right? :)

  The Fedora Core 18 counterpart looks like:
