These images are "Copyright Stallion Technologies", but are freely
redistributable. Stallion provides these images "as is", and disclaims any
warranty, or fitness for any particular purpose. Absolutely no support is
supplied by Stallion when using these images outside if officially supported
Stallion product.

So, anybody is free to use them and redistribute them, but no support is
provided by Stallion.

Yep. All supported operating system drivers for these boards from Stallion
have these images on them. But, it would be easier if they where just in
the FreeBSD distribution already :-)
