Hello, I would like to see the ti-connectivity firmware [0] added to Debian's firmware-nonfree package, but the license does not allow this. You can find the discussion under [1].
The problem is, that the firmware's license [2] states, that one may only download the firmware after accepting the license. This requires reading/accepting the license _before_ downloading the package, which is currently not possible in Debian. Please note, that this is also not supported by the Ubuntu packages from your team, which are available under [3], [4]. Can you please consider changing the license? You can use [5], [6], [7] as examples licenses from other wireless lan firmwares (all of them allow redistribution).
