The issue is, granted to whom? Franklin couldn't distribute copies of Apple's ROMs because that was for commercial gain, in competition with Apple. Firmware to drive the originator's own hardware, distributed free, ought to be a different matter. In copyright cases, details matter. It would be very helpful to identify a case that closely matches, in which the image was denied copyright protection.
