Sorry, there is some miscommunication here. I still don't understand
what you need me to do with these firmware packages. I can't do
anything with them even if I want to, because I'm not their owner.

Btw, I sent an email to the MAC author and asked him to include some
text regarding redistribution of MAC.

Does the end user need to know this? This is more relevant for developers.
