Kai-Heng Feng, as per Broadcom, they provide firmware via Windows update:

Hence, why not have a package in Ubuntu that scripts pulling the relevant file from Windows update, extracts the relevant bits, and moves it into the proper location?

This is nothing more than automating what folks already do to WORKAROUND this issue, without forcing everyone to hold their breath waiting for a license from Broadcom.
