Bug Description
The debian/copyright file of linux-restricte
- acx firmware files
- dvb firmware files
This information is regarded as legally mandatory in
https:/
I suggest to immediately add the missing information and remove the files that do not have any license/permission allowing redistribution (I believe the DVB firmware files fall into this category).

it may be worthwhile to have some kind of cross-distro effort to get a clear license for the DVB firmware stuff, so all distros can include it safely.
