Bug Description
Quoting https:/
"The main component contains applications that are free software, can be
freely redistributed and are fully supported by the Ubuntu team."
The intel-microcode license includes this nice sentence:
"* No reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of this
software is permitted."
So it's nonfree software.
