1# License Agreement for amd_blobs Repository
2
3## Abstract
4
5AMD has generated a simpler and more flexible license agreement for using
6proprietary precompiled binary images.  The new agreement is intended to cover
7all blobs in the directory structure below where the license resides and
8eliminates any unique agreements previously provided for individual products.
9
10A [3rdparty/amd_blobs](https://review.coreboot.org/admin/repos/amd_blobs) repo
11now exists for distributing new blobs to coreboot developers and consumers.
12Images for older products will be moved to amd_blobs as time permits.
13
14By cloning the amd_blobs repo, you will be agreeing to the license agreement
15contained there.
