|
|
|
+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.
