You've shown b43/ucode11.fw twice, but let's skip that for now. None of the files you show here are present in any packages in Debian, according to https://packages.debian.org/. This particular device looks like it's a special case, where Debian isn't allowed to distribute the firmware directly, not even in non-free. Have a look at the firmware-b43-installer package: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-b43-installer Rather than providing the firmware themselves, Debian have created this package that will download the firmware from ... somewhere ... and package it up for you. Obviously, in order for this to work on a single machine, you'll need a different means of accessing the Internet from that machine (e.g. a wired ethernet connection). If you dislike this situation, take it up with Broadcom. Presumably it's their license on the firmware that's causing your distress.
