Describe the bug

The LICENSE file contains the following description. However, the source tree does not include firmware/ directory.

I guess the files under firmware-2711 and firmware-2712 directories are licensed under the proprietary license but the LICENSE file does not declare this correctly. According to theLICENSE file describes, BSD-3 is applied to firmware-2711 and firmware-2712 directories (Files: * matches them) but I don't think this is intended.

Could you update the LICENSE file and clarify which files are licensed under which license?

Files: *             <== This will be applied to firmware-2711 and firmware-2712
