Hi,
I'm CCing Maxim, since he seems to be the last developer from TI to
post patches for the WiLink drivers here.

AFAICT, the license text in the github repository you pointed to is not
exactly the same as the one in linux-firmware.git. So, not being a
lawyer, I don't know how you could handle that, since the license in
github explicitly says that you need to reproduce that license.

Right, I'm not working for TI anymore, so there's nothing that I can do
for you. If I were you, I'd keep poking at current TI developers to
see if they can send these new FW versions to linux-firmware.git. They
probably even have newer versions than the ones published in github.
