Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing issue #78 and the repository's current distribution and licensing approach; the work is done when a decided, documented path exists for obtaining and redistributing non-OS-applicable microcode binaries.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In #78 it was argued that the elevated-voltage related update won't be distributed via this repository to avoid confusion (as it can't be applied from the OS). However, independent manufacturers and firmware vendors rely on redistributable binaries (as they are licensed in this repository) when they don't work very close to Intel. Especially when open-source firmware is involved that sometimes even the customers compile themselves, the chain becomes too long to sign an NDA for every single case.
How can we get redistributable binaries for such not-OS-applicable updates into the ecosystem?
