Description Maxim Kammerer 2012-12-09 18:41:42 UTC
From the ebuild:
RESTRICT="mirror"

Mirror restriction should not be on for the package, because the same firmware files are distributed in linux-firmware, which is a very good indication for lack of redistribution restrictions (kernel.org).

From the license (Conexant-firmware):

Conexant grants permission to use and redistribute these firmware
files for use with Conexant devices, but not as a part of the Linux
kernel or in any other form which would require these files themselves
to be covered by the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Hi, any update? ivtvdriver.org is down.
Comment 2 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-02-11 04:31:11 UTC
Fixed. However, I recommend you try the linux-firmware package. I'll be removing the package and pushing people that way. Let me know if you try linux-firmware and it doesn't work out.
