No source provided but the binary firmware is redistributable.

Quoting from https://mail.gna.org/public/eagleusb-dev/2004-11/msg00172.html:

Last week, I talked to different parties at ADI regarding the licensing of
Layer 1 ( DSP ) and USB firmware source codes. ADI is not providing source
code for the firmware :-( The binary files will be distributed freely to end
users ( Is public domain licensing good for this? )
