Please mention somewhere, where you got the permissions to distribute the blobs from. […]
Blobs must be accompanied by a distribution license, which must allow unlimited redistribution. README.md (inside the root of the blobs repo) contains our binary policy.
Also, licenses with clauses like this are frowned upon (at least by me):
By loading or using the Software, you agree to the terms of this Agreement.
Why? Well, I'm not a lawyer, so I'm probably wrong. As I understand it, if the blobs repo contains a file under such a license (the license is also in the blobs repo), wouldn't someone cloning the blobs repo (which can happen automatically as part of the build process) implicitly and unknowingly agree to the license before being able to read it? Yes, one could read the license before cloning, (e.g. view the license text from https://github.com/coreboot/blobs using a web browser), but it feels excessively forcing. Especially when one is never going to use that binary.
