Redistribution terms for jupiter-hw-support #2308

Description

@TobiPeterG

Hello SteamOS team,

I am a maintainer for openSUSE and am working on optional support for Steam Deck / SteamOS-style integration.

The package in question is based on files from:
https://gitlab.com/evlaV/jupiter-hw-support
(originally from SteamOS “jupiter-hw-support”).

We would like to redistribute the following components in openSUSE:

  • SteamOS integration scripts (steamos-* helpers)
  • hwsupport shell scripts
  • udev rules and polkit rules
  • session selection helpers
  • optionally: SteamOS plymouth theme and cursor artwork
  • optionally: Renesas Flash Programmer (rfp-cli/libRFP)
  • optionally: BIOS flashing tools
  • optionally: firmware blobs

The "Renesas Flash Programmer" already comes with a license statement that prohibits redistribution of associated parts, so I guess there's not a lot possible for their parts.

The source tarball does not include an explicit license for these files.
Could you please clarify:

  1. Whether redistribution of these integration files is permitted?
  2. Under which license (MIT/GPL/other) they may be redistributed?
  3. Whether the SteamOS artwork (plymouth theme, cursors, steamos.png) may be included in third-party Linux distributions (and under which license)?
  4. Whether the BIOS flashing tool, firmware blobs etc. may be included in third-party Linux distributions (and under which license)?

Thank you for your guidance. :)
