With the recent push from OpenBSD to open firmwares to redistribution as well as obtaining new documentation for several wireless chipsets it would seem OpenBSD is pushing for other areas to open up as well.

The AACCLI is not 'my little tool', it's been distributed for years by Adaptec on the CD that comes with the cards. It's also available for download from the website. I'll accept that you might not be familiar with the FreeBSD ports system, but surely you've peeked once or twice at the FreeBSD AAC source and have seen my name there. According to the OpenBSD CVS logs, apparently someone has looked at the FreeBSD source in the past few years.
As for your goals of Libre, I hope they go well. I'd love to have a completely open AAC tool for FreeBSD also. But until that's possible, I think that the FreeBSD community appreciates that it's possible to manage the hardware now using the existing resources.
