| ## 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. |
