I am all for that since we need to be able to pass SBC conformance with
pure open source tools. Otherwise it becomes painful for some people.

I know multiple better ways of spending that money ;)

No we can't add it. I would have to write something up on how to
download it and how testing is suppose to work.

The official files from the Bluetooth SIG and I don't know which options
would make them encode correctly. Just calling the reference encoder
with the filename makes it run into a busy loop. With wine and natively
running on Windows XP.
