Is there a distro out there that will just ignore legal issues and publish any packages they can get their hands on, like a Sci-Hub for distros?

- nine_k 8y agoThey would exist until the first C&D letter. I would rather have Intel redistribute their firmware in easy-to-install packages, trusted and verifiable, if they, for some reason, cannot trust distros package it. Doing a firmware update from a random untrusted source is an invitation to have a hard-to-detect exploit added to your system.
- dmitrygr 8y agoIf your random untrusted source has a way to properly digitally sign an intel microcode update, I know a lot of people who would like to speak to him
- xyproto 8y agoFull out Pirate Linux currently does not exist, as far as I know. I guess just adding package repositories with dubious licenses would do the same job?
