FW RT307x/RT309x

Sorry, you can do whatever you want, but I, representing the rt2x00 team cannot back you up in this.
The distributions surely aren't getting the firmware files from source code, when they are available with a clear license in the manufacturer's website.
We also do not condone any (mis)use of those firmware files. However support will only be given to people using firmware obtained from Ralink.
those file of fw are inside source code, and directly downloaded from ralink !

And ALL ralink fw licenses are the _same_. Source code, web and zip_files have the same text.

«Allá muevan feroz guerra, ciegos reyes por un palmo más de tierra; que yo aquí tengo por mío cuanto abarca el mar bravío, a quien nadie impuso leyes. Y no hay playa, sea cualquiera, ni bandera de esplendor, que no sienta mi derecho y dé pecho a mi valor.»
Xose,

No, you are wrong.
The source code is GPL, the firmware files are not.
For me this is the last time I'll write about this.

Thanks for checking Luis. So we can leave everything as it is right now, as there are no different names for the firmware.
Now to convince the staging people that they have done the wrong thing by creating rt3070.bin, etc. :-(

Great, are these newer versions of the ones in linux-firmware.git? Can we get linux-firmware.git updated?
Thanks,

To be completely honest, I have no idea of what's in linux-firmware.git .
We, the rt2x00 project, do not distribute firmware files with the driver, it's up to the various distributions to deal with this.
