Files, plural. If each RPM in the blob has separate licenses, we need to review
all of them.

Additionally, from the base license:
] Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any specific
] restrictions which may appear in the Redistributables text files, Intel grants
] to you a non-exclusive, non-assignable copyright license to distribute (except
] under an Evaluation License as specified below) the Redistributables, or any
] portions thereof, as part of the product or application you developed using the
] Materials.

Thus, we need to review the "any specific restrictions which may appear in the
Redistributables text files" for problems as well.

At a first reading, it smells badly. Do you know of any other distro that is
redistribution the files as-is from upstream or other derivative
distributable?

P.S.,
As I feel it is appropriate here, IANAL, and this should not be construed as
being legal advice. Rather, I feel sufficiently -versed in open source
licensing issues that I can say if something is going to be clear or too grey
to be certain.
