No, Convergence can of course do their own firmware bugfixes.
I also am not certain about the possible legal implications if I would
offer new firmwares myself.

When we have the time.
You have to understand that our current work is not directly related 
to the "big" DVB card and we do not have much spare time.

Since Convergence now completely dropped support for cards which were
only supported in the old branch (and which we need) we cannot use
their current CVS anyway.

That only was a new implementation of the CI link layer inside the
firmware. You would still have to write the upper CI layers 
in a user application. Since this also is code which we wrote for
Convergence you will have to ask them if they are going to release a
firmware with it.
