samweller:
no such dir as /lib/firmware.

?

combo3:
You have to create it first: sudo mkdir /lib/firmware

Next, copy the firmware files to /lib/firmware

and add the directory to /opt/.filetool.lst

echo lib/firmware >> /opt/.filetool.lst

Then do a backup.

Actually, now that you mention it... probably.

/lib/udev/firmware.sh contains the following:

FIRMWARE_DIRS="/lib/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware"

So I copied my USB firmware to /usr/local/lib/firmware and got it working.

YMMV

I am not sure if there is a loophole or a way to obtain a distribution license.

I think that's for the end user only.  There's another one for redistributors.
