 Your commit should include an update to the WHENCE file clearly
 identifying the licence under which the firmware is available, and
 that it is redistributable. If the licence is long and involved, it's
 permitted to include it in a separate file and refer to it from the
 WHENCE file.
+And if it were possible, a changelog of the firmware itself.
 
 Ideally, your commit should contain a Signed-Off-By: from someone
 authoritative on the licensing of the firmware in question (i.e. from
 within the company that owns the code).

+WARNING:

+Don't send any "CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT" in your e-mail, patch or
