Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-firmware

We worked with DibCom to get them to clarify their licensing for the dib0700 1.20 firmware, and it can now be freely redistributed.

The license terms can be found here:

http://www.kernellabs.com/firmware/dib0700/README.dib0700

We will be working to get this into dwm2's upstream linux-firmware tree, but given Karmic's schedule it would be worthwhile if we could get this moved out of linux-firmware-nonfree and back into linux-firmware before the release.

Without this change, users will see a regression when they upgrade to Karmic and don't know that they need to install the new linux-firmware-nonfree package.

  * Moved dvb/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw to linux-firmware since it is
    now compatibly licensed.
