But, the question made here was a subtler one and you are all biting

firmware blobs in the kernel (-- ok, *if* you consider that hex dumps
are not source code). What Sven asked was: "Hey, can I state explicitly
the distribution state in the source files, by means of adding some
comments?".
I think even a clarification "this firmware hexdump is considered to be
the source code, and it's GPL'd" would do, but I must put my asbestos
suit everytime I say it. :-)
We do not add comments to the kernel source code which simply state the
obvious.
