The new agreement is intended to cover +all blobs in the directory structure below where the license resides and +eliminates any unique agreements previously provided for individual products. + +A [3rdparty/amd_blobs](https://review.coreboot.org/admin/repos/amd_blobs) repo +now exists for distributing new blobs to coreboot developers and consumers. +Images for older products will be moved to amd_blobs as time permits. + +By cloning the amd_blobs repo, you will be agreeing to the license agreement +contained there. + +## Text of License Agreement + +The language of the agreement is duplicated below for your reference.
