I just want to note that Broadcom's pre-existing agreement seems to cover this
case:

"The BlueZ project has permission from Broadcom Corporation to distribute this
firmware in conjunction with the BlueZ GPLd tools ... as long as the notice
contained in /usr/share/doc/bluez-firmware/BCM-LEGAL.txt accompanies the
firmware."

To me it seems fairly clear - freely redistributable, so long as that file is
included. But I'm still not a lawyer. So I'd suggest that someone who *is* a
lawyer email the folks listed in the message from comment #1:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/non-free/b/bluez-firmware/bluez-firmware_1.2-1/bluez-firmware.copyright

and get someone to confirm that.
