I suppose we should repackage it with k3flasher, like I did with a small portion of the (originally huge) MfgTool package and my own custom profiles and u-boot images.
Ah, k3flasher isn't a gpl licensed program.
OR, if the copy your looking at is, Hawhill agreed to re-license it for us to non-gpl.

I suspect he just didn't have the time to make the changes when he built the binary version.
