Christian, Luca, All,

Luca, a licensing question for you... ;-)

On 2015-07-24 15:32 -0700, Christian Stewart spake thusly:
> This patch adds the rtl8821au wifi driver. The driver is sourced from

You forgot the licensing information:

    RTL8821AU_LICENSE = GPLv2
    RTL8821AU_LICENSE_FILES = COPYING

Luca:

Also, two firmware blobs are installed, and we have no licensing info
for those two; usually it's a proprietary license.

I wonder if/how we can reflect this in the licensing info above.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
