Hi folks, I hope everything goes well.
I would like to add a DisplayLink driver to the Factory repository. This driver is split into: * An open source part: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi * A private part: a binary blob
I've been able to package it and make it work. I've already added the open source part to Factory.
My question is if I can add the binary part although it's a private binary. Also, what license should be the right one in this case?
It very much depends on the license (and I assume Ciaran would decide once submitted, or ask him directly).
We distribute some firmware in kernel-firmware. Some is even binary blob and we use SUSE-firmware for that purpose (whatever it means).
OTOH, some cannot be distributed (like b43legacy or rtl8761b) and has to live outside build.opensuse.org completely. Like on packman.
