It appears my assessment was too hasty. This firmware file is not part
of the upstream linux-firmware git repository. The Adaptec license does
indeed restrict redistribution. I can't do anything about older releases
since those ISOs have already been created, but I'll remove both
firmware and license from Trusty until the license issues are clarified.

Title:
  LICENSE.aic94xx-seq in linux-firmware - is this firmware
  distributable?

Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  For this specific license it appears that this License is rather
  restrictive.  In clause two it appears that this package cannot be
  distributed.

  I think this is a bug right? :)

  The Fedora Core 18 counterpart looks like:
