IANAL either, but I think this is a problem: you can not compile a kernel
that includes that firmware and redistribute it as a binary. Source
redistribution (with firmware in *.h file) are ok.

Someone might contact Atmel and ask for permission to redistribute copies of
the firmware unmodified inside a compiled NetBSD kernel or other formats 
(iso images etc.) that only contain the firmware in one of the other allowed
formats.

I think David wanted to know if you have any docs that would enable him
to write his own firmware, with a less restrictive license.
