The license says:

===
/* Redistribution and use of the microcode software ("Firmware") is           */
/* permitted provided that the following conditions are met:		      */
/* Firmware is redistributed in object code only, specifically, only 	      */
/* in two file formats: (a) .h header file; or (b) .rom binary image file;    */
/*									      */
/* Any reproduction of Firmware must contain the above copyright notice,      */
/* this list of conditions and the below disclaimer in the documentation      */
/* and/or other materials provided with the distribution; and		      */
/* The name of Atmel Corporation may not be used to endorse or promote 	      */
/* products derived from this Firmware without specific prior written consent.*/
===

It is kinda restricted but I think it's sufficient to make it @BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE.

That's licenses/Atmel, right?

Looks good for addition to @B-R.
