Contact Microsoft and ask them to release the firmware separately from
the SDK. While you are doing that please ask them to make it available
under a license that allows redistribution and use outside of
Microsoft Windows. Here is an example of a license that would allow
the firmware to be uploaded to non-free:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/LICENCE.iwlwifi_firmware?id=HEAD
If that fails then... IANAL, but:
1. sounds like it could open you/Debian up to lawsuits about inducing
users to violate the EULA.
2. I'm failing to understand the logic here but I think that would be
problematic too.
3. sounds like only remaining solution.
