I don't see any sign of upstream styling the product as
"KinectForWindows" (beyond the URL being alloneword); it's always
"Kinect for Windows".
It seems a shame that users need to open a browser to read this EULA
when you're already fetching stuff for them, but I suppose it's not as
if there's any hope you could cram the text into a debconf dialogue.
Foolishly, perhaps, I've tracked down and looked at the actual EULA
(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/kinectforwindows/develop/sdk-eula.aspx).
It doesn't license using the downloaded files in order to run the
Kinect hardware under Linux; only "to design, develop, and test your
programs that run specifically on a Microsoft Windows operating
system". Asking end-users to agree to it seems a bit pointless.

In the control file:

The noun is "setup", but the verb is separable ("set it up") and
therefore written with a space as "to set up". Or since that's
getting a bit long, we could turn it into a noun-pile as:

Should that be "a bulk transfer endpoint"? And either way, is there
really any need to mention anything this technical?

"A certain firmware" is treating a mass noun as a count noun, and
"uploading" is confusing (especially given that the only subject the
sentence has had so far is the Kinect device).
I'm not sure about this, but isn't the device stack "reenumeration"
technically a separate event from the reset that makes the device
change class? And it should probably at least be hyphenated...
So:
When the Kinect is first plugged in, it shows up as a generic USB device
with a bulk endpoint; after the appropriate firmware is installed, a
re-enumeration takes place and a USB Audio Class device becomes available.

Say "from the Internet" (since it won't let you fetch a copy from
http://server.local), and rearrange slightly to reduce repetition and
avoid initial lowercase:
Since the firmware is not redistributable, kinect-audio-setup provides
tools to download it from the Internet at installation time, and sets up
udev rules to call the firmware loader when the device is plugged in to
finally get the USB Audio Class device.

The main problem remaining here is the fact it isn't true.
