for the https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/CrossToolchain:xtensa I've packaged the SDK for the ESP8266 micro controller. As this SDK is not fully available in source code I've made a download script that downloads the SDK during the installation similar to fetchmsttfonts.
The community around this micro controller is now providing more and more open source replacement libraries for the binary ones. But these can't be build without some of the binary libraries. Therefore I would like to change the SDK package so that it actually contains the binary libraries.
These binary libraries are distributed under MIT license. Am I allowed to put these binary libraries into the package?
I don't think so... While MIT is redistributable and does not require them or us to redistribute source code, the only exception to providing source code on our openSUSE OBS that I'm aware of is "SUSE-Firmware", which I doubt applies in this cross-compilation case. MIT is not really a non-free license, so openSUSE:Factory:NonFree seems a misfit, too. However the only official Wiki page I could come up with is: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist For those of us not so familiar with Espressif, could you provide some more details on what library we are talking about here? (name, purpose) In particular I am wondering whether it might be possible to build a non-Espressif based xtensa toolchain with my pending newlib package and our binutils and gcc5/gcc6. In a quick experiment binutils succeeds to build [1] but I don't spot xtensa support in newlib - is libc one of those binary libraries?

The current package can be found here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/ show/CrossToolchain:xtensa/fetch-esp8266-sdk
