Adding package with binary firmware to repo

[Vascom]

Hi.
I am want add to repo package openhantek
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1558362
It is oscilloscopes GUI.
This application contain binary firmware for some models of USB
oscilloscopes. This firmware must be loaded to oscilloscope to work.
As I understood it taken from proprietary windows driver.

Can I add this package to Fedora repo? Or it need any additional actions
from me?

if the licence of the scope firmware doesn't allow (at least) free
distribution, then it's a no-go for Fedora.

I must require comment from manufacturer?
Or you can do it as more respectable and english-speaking people?

I'd start from OpenHantek project - let's ask them if they ever tried
to contact Hantek for any legal clarifications?

I think the situation is the same as for some Broadcom Wi-Fi chips. If
they disallow modification / extraction of these blobs then this won't
work.

Maybe better call Hantek directly for their clarification on this matter.
