1 # License Agreement for amd_blobs Repository
5 AMD has generated a simpler and more flexible license agreement for using
6 proprietary precompiled binary images. The new agreement is intended to cover
7 all blobs in the directory structure below where the license resides and
8 eliminates any unique agreements previously provided for individual products.
10 A [3rdparty/amd_blobs](https://review.coreboot.org/admin/repos/amd_blobs) repo
11 now exists for distributing new blobs to coreboot developers and consumers.
12 Images for older products will be moved to amd_blobs as time permits.
14 By cloning the amd_blobs repo, you will be agreeing to the license agreement
17 ## Text of License Agreement
19 The language of the agreement is duplicated below for your reference. The
20 official license agreement may be found inside the Git repository.
