Yes, there was such a comment posted (by me).

To meet the license requirements, we need to embedded the Freescale binary into k3flasher.
Not really difficult to do, just takes a bit of modification to the k3flasher source.

The two ways:
Use bin2c and store it as a byte array ;
Use objcopy to give it start, end, size symbols and link it into k3flasher.

I was hoping the author would have time to do that for us.
But we may need a volunteer with time on their hands to crank one out for us.

PS: Most modern Linux distributions can run the ATK installer to unpack it using Wine (mine did, and that's an old version of Wine).
But I agree with your point - an unnecessary complication for a Linux-Noobie
