If we think the redistribution is a problem, then We will have to wait for the
license to be added to the source package itsef. As having the text that allow
the redistribution not taken from the source package is completely irrelevant
(specially as the mail comes from an untrusted source not even gpg signed).
Here are some example of package that was waiting for such addition, even if
the license was attached to the bugzilla.
This was the case in the Ralink firmware reviews here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230164
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230161
Sorry, there is some miscommunication here. I still don't understand
what you need me to do with these firmware packages. I can't do
anything with them even if I want to, because I'm not their owner.
Btw, I sent an email to the MAC author and asked him to include some
text regarding redistribution of MAC.
If you have found any package that doesn't have the text to allow
for
redistribution added to the source package itself, please warn FE-LEGAL as this
package shouldn't have been added to the repository.

Why Not ? What is explained here is that License was not LGPL despite written
as such in the day it was provided from sourceforge. It explains something very
important, there was never a LGPL version of this mac source code.
Does the end user need to know this? This is more relevant for developers.
