The included COPYING file says:
...
The source archive was specifically provided by Linksys in order to
fulfill obligations arising from distribution of software licensed
under the GPL and other open source licenses.  Given that fact,
it is reasonable to infer that redistribution of the archive itself
and the contents of that archive is accepted by Linksys, Broadcom,
and any other copyright holders.
...

That being said, the files used by this package *aren't* source files; they are
binary objects. Hence, I'm not sure we can make the argument that they're
releasing these binary objects on these terms, as releasing binary objects to
satisfy the GPL doesn't really make sense.

Marking as blocking FE-LEGAL.
