Why we should include this into the repository, i.e. what does it do that the alternatives do not?
Solus currently does not have an alternative for it. fwupd helped a lot getting older net- and notebooks back to work.
Is it open source?
Yes
If it is open source, please provide a link to the most up to date, versioned source tarball/zipfile. master.zip links will not be accepted.
https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases/tag/1.8.2
If there are no upstream releases but the inclusion policy is otherwise met, please provide a link to the source repository (i.e. GitHub)
