Honestly, I doubt that it is copyrightable, but I think that I'll leave that judgement up to the FTP Masters. Linux upstream provides all firmware in a separate tree due to GPL requirements. Strangely enough, it seems that they are still distributing the closed-source firmware instead of open-ath9k-htc-firmware (which is where the license problem was discovered). I hadn't contacted FreeBSD upstream about this before, but I just have now. If you're subscribed to this bug, you should have received a copy of the message.
