LICENSE covered the whole repository, so the MIT grant read as covering 9.9 GB of third-party firmware. It now states its scope and NOTICE describes the files it does not cover, with a removal channel. The FAQ cited Connectix and Accolade for redistribution when both decided intermediate copying during reverse engineering, presented fair use as settled, read section 1201(f) as a general permission, and listed abandonware among legal doctrines. Each claim is now stated at the strength it actually has, and the weakest ground is named.
