Ok. Thanks. And there is no zip file or tarball that contains both
the license and the firmware? I'm simply worried about having just
FOO_LICENSE = PROPRIETARY without a proper license file that indicates
what license it is. Or maybe we need to put a special license file in
package/intel-microcode/ and find a way to tell the license
infrastructure that the license file is here rather than in the package
itself?

Cc'ing Luca on this.
