A slightly different one was kept downstream in Debian, but this should be useful to other distros to, amongst other things, help users install the missing package upon insertion of the hardware. The AppStream specification only permits certain permissive licenses, because usually all packages' metadata needs to be aggregated together by distros. The FSF All-Permissive license is used, as BSD-3-Clause(-Clear) is not permitted by the specification.

The reverted commit only const qualifies all of the parameters, so it's simplest to just revert it.

I wrote a spruced-up AppStream metadata file and am submitting it upstream where it belongs. It will help users get the firmware installed among other benefits, especially those whom may not know they need it, and seems to've been successful in Debian. This should be installed by packagers to /usr/share/metainfo/.
