The 3-clause BSD that this firmware uses requires more than just keeping the copyright notice, like license.txt currently says. Rather, it has has that "redistributions in binary form (which is what the ALSA Project is doing, since only the firmware binary is provided) must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution." This means that more than just the copyright notice needs to be included. This change is intended to address this by adding the parts that were omitted originally.
