Ahh! (insert lightbulb ...)
So if the firmware was just plainly distributed as
"(C) foo.com
/ bar.org", then the problem would go away?
It would probably solve the original distributor's problem, but that
wouldn't mean AGNULA could distribute it inside DeMuDi (not as long as
we reach a consensus that either that firmware is not a program, or
that it is a non-free program whose distribution is permitted on the
Live CD because otherwise professional audio users will never use Free
Software).
