It can also be used since 2.6.18 using the rt2x00 external module and older kernel can use rt73 legacy version... We should ask for proper redistribution permission, this firmware do not provides any documentation, it sould a least bundle permission for redistribution to be accepted on Fedora Extras... Sending a mail to Ralink about this... FE-LEGAL
review is coming ;-)
Just one thing: hardcoded path must not be use. use "%{_lib}/firmware" instead of "/lib/firmware"
typo: it's Hardcoded library path

It seems you forgot to block Fe-Legal and to assign this review.
I have send a new mail to Ralink to ask them for legacl clearance for shipping the RT61 and RT73 firmware together with FC. I have CC'ed Nicolas Chauvet, Bill Nottingham and John Linville. First responce from Ralink seemed rather positive, so hopefully they will indeed a nice license to their firmware that allows redistribution.
Thx for your help Ivo! I've received the Ralink license by mail, now i think we can re-distribute Rakink's-firmware. But from a packager point of view, I usually have to download files from a public place...(so I can also take care of the timestamp, but this is a minor problem)... Actually, what could be better is to download the license from the Ralink website. Or even better, to have it within the firmware archives... Thx again from your help! I will update the spec file (and drop dist tag) Also, notting reminded me that firmware name is taken from the kernel module which is used (rt73usb in this case, and rt61pci for rt61-firmware ) I will probably need to rename the spec file name, which was taken from the archive name (rt71w-firmware) or taken from the chipset suffix rt2571w...
