     KernelVersion: 2.6.12 and on
          Platform: All

              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: P1
         Component: Sound(ALSA)
        AssignedTo: perex at perex.cz
        ReportedBy: dererk at madap.com.ar


It has been found that CS46xx driver carries a firmware blob that does not have
license[1], what for our concerns turns it undistributable[2].

Some members of our team have already reported this to Cirrus Logic[3], no
answer has been recieved yet.

Greetings,


Dererk
