As discussed in #gentoo-dev: linux-firmware currently has: LICENSE="GPL-2 GPL-2+ GPL-3 BSD MIT || ( MPL-1.1 GPL-2 ) redistributable? ( linux-fw-redistributable ( BSD-2 BSD BSD-4 ISC MIT no-source-code ) ) unknown-license? ( all-rights-reserved )" With the redistributable flag being enabled by an IUSE default, the user must add an exception for both "linux-fw-redistributable" and "no-source-code" to package.license. The suggestion is to simplify this, namely by dropping no-source-code from LICENSE and adding a note to licenses/linux-fw-redistributable instead. That is, the ebuild would have: LICENSE="GPL-2 GPL-2+ GPL-3 BSD MIT || ( MPL-1.1 GPL-2 ) redistributable? ( linux-fw-redistributable BSD-2 BSD BSD-4 ISC MIT ) unknown-license? ( all-rights-reserved )"
Created attachment 848821 [details, diff] licenses: Add note about binary-only images to linux-fw-redistributable
LGTM

This means that the user must only add a single license exception for the package when using the default configuration ("+redistributable" in IUSE).
