... more pages of hex
I personally downloaded this file believing that I was getting a free GPL
driver. Broadcom says so in the patch itself, in the included LICENSE
file, and their website when you click to download it. Red Hat is
shipping it as GPLv2. So either they have to provide the source (if they
have it), stop shipping it, or *at least* stop saying they are shipping a
GPLv2 kernel if they are unwilling/unable to provide the source.
You missed the discussion where it was pointed out that some firmware
is written in hex directly, as there is no compiler. Good luck with
demanding the source to that dude...
