Documentation: Add amd_blobs license agreement text
AMD has generated a simpler and more flexible license agreement for using proprietary precompiled binary images. 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. Add a description of the repo, as well as the license agreement it contains.

# License Agreement for amd_blobs Repository
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Abstract
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
AMD has generated a simpler and more flexible license agreement for using
|
||||||
|
proprietary precompiled binary images. 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. The
|
||||||
|
official license agreement may be found inside the Git repository.
