I should note not providing a redistributable firmware is actually creating more motivation to keep working on open reversed engineered firmware which may make take the devices out of compliance. Ultimately this firmware is what is going to be used by users of the Linux kernel if Broadcom does not provide any alternatives, as there is no option.
