I did contact them some time ago (in January) and it took them about a week to 
reply. They told me they had been having problems with their mail server.

I tried Ali's Linux-libre 2.6.29.1 and it tells me b43 got *DEBLOBBED*. I 
tried using openfwwf but apparently since b43 got deblobbed the kernel is not 
even looking for the firmware. I read somewhere that they are going to fix 
that for 2.6.30.
