  Again, Hardware handling is a more appropriate menu.
It's where linux-firmware resides...

  Funny URL...

  Again not a very accurate license.  "Snowball click-wrap license" is more
appropriate.  It does come pretty close to proprietary, however.  I wonder
if the linaro maintainers have permission to redistribute it via launchpad...

  The license file is license.txt.

  I'd prefer 'make install' here.

  We try to avoid relying on non-Posix shell utilities like rename.
