Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "open-ath9k-htc-firmware":

 * Package name    : open-ath9k-htc-firmware
   Version         : 1.4.0-106-gc583009+dfsg1-2
   Upstream Author : ath9k_htc_fw@lists.infradead.org
 * URL             : https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware
 * License         : BSD-3-Clause-Clear, Expat, BSD-3-Clause-Clear or
GPL-2, GPL-2+-with-linking-exception, GPL-2, FSFAP-with-endorsements-
clause, BSD-3-Clause-Clear or GPL-2, and BSD-4-Clause, BSD-3-Clause or
GPL-2
 * Vcs             :
https://salsa.debian.org/jscott/open-ath9k-htc-firmware
   Section         : kernel

The source builds the following binary packages:

  firmware-ath9k-htc - firmware for AR7010 and AR9271 USB wireless
adapters

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/

Alternatively, you can download the package with 'dget' using this
command:

  dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/open-ath9k-htc-firmware_1.4.0-106-gc583009+dfsg1-2.dsc

Changes since the last upload:

 open-ath9k-htc-firmware (1.4.0-106-gc583009+dfsg1-2) unstable;
urgency=medium
 .
   * Add package version control info.
   * Clean up the copyright file.
     - Distinguish the BSD 3-Clause Clear variant from the conventional
one.
     - Make conformant to DEP-5 specification for machine readability.
   * Build cross toolchain with Binutils 2.36 and GCC 12 with patch.

This package was previously uploaded, but failed to clear NEW because my
introduction of a udeb wasn't fully vetted. This upload drops the udeb
so we can fix the FTBFS; perhaps it can be reintroduced later.

I think Bastian Germann has been watching this package closely, so allow
a little time for him to review this RFS.

I would like to move the Salsa repo into the Debian namespace as he
suggested; could somebody create this for me? My Salsa username is
'jscott'

Thanks everyone!

Please add a -1 Debian revision.

I have granted you access to the new repo. Please change the Vcs-* fields
with the next upload.

You should keep the BSD-4-clause license name because the 4th clause is not renumbered.
Please remove the 3rd clause in the license. asf_queue.h also has that modified license.

As no other file references BSD-3-Clause anymore, please remove it. This also has the problem that
it contains an alternative GPL-2 option which is not reflected in its name.

Thanks for taking a look, Bastian. I believe the changes are
satisfactory now, except that after close inspection I found that those
files specified as being covered by the BSD-3-Clause license are still
covered by it. Please me know if I'm misunderstanding something.

You are right; I did not see that it was used in *ieee80211.h files.
I push your changes to the repo in the debian/ namespace; please make sure you switch your local copy and possibly
delete it in your namespace.
