It seems like no-one actually read LICENCE.ish, because it says:

> 3 CONFIDENTIALITY. The terms of this Agreement and the
> Material are Intel confidential information and subject to your
> valid corporate non-disclosure agreement with Intel (CNDA).
> Except as authorized in Section 2.1, you must not disclose this
> information to anyone, including the U.S. government. This
> Agreement will not become effective, or will automatically
> terminate, in the absence of a CNDA. This Agreement will take
> precedence in the event of a conflict with the CNDA.

So not only should the firmware not have been sent to linux-firmware
under this licence, but the licence text itself should not have been
sent either.

We have not yet included this firmware in a binary package but is
still present in the source package.

I have reported this upstream and expect that the licence will be
fixed, but in the mean time it should be excluded from the source
package.

Ben.
