## linux-firmware-rpidistro
|
||||
|
||||
By default, some of the machine configurations recommend packages for the
|
||||
WiFi/BT firmware, provided by
|
||||
[linux-firmware-rpidistro](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree).
|
||||
This package includes some firmware blobs under the `Synaptics` license which
|
||||
could carry a legal risk: one of the clauses can be (at least theoretically)
|
||||
used as a `killswitch`. This was
|
||||
[reported](https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/issues/29) in the
|
||||
upstream repository.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the full license text body in the content of the above mentioned
|
||||
package.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the above, the build system will only allow this recipe to be built if
|
||||
the user acknowledges this risk by adding the following configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
LICENSE_FLAGS_ACCEPTED = "synaptics-killswitch"
|
||||
|
||||
You can provide this configuration as part of your `local.conf`, `distro.conf`,
|
||||
etc.
