   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_.
