Well, I wasn't aware package/odroidc2-firmware was under the same restrictive license. Are the license terms for package/odroidc2-firmware available somewhere? This package is downloaded from https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot, but I don't see the license terms from Amlogic preventing redistribution. Of course, I understand that they simply may be missing (which would be really bad!). But how can anyone use those blobs? You can't redistribute them. According to their license, just putting them on Github is not even allowed.
