   If you use Debian: you're got getting the recent Intel CPU bugfixes because Intel updated the firmware package's license to state that it's not redistributable.

   If use Linux other than Debian and have the bugfixes: ask your maintainers why they're distributing software they're not legally allowed to.

   And in any case: next time you purchase a CPU, evaluate whether AMD might be a better choice than Intel.
