I'm honestly not sure about the legality of downloading from another distributor. I do know that distribution requires a license [0].

The risk doesn't seem worth it to use such a workaround for a serious project though.

Kodi downloads an entire ChromeOS image just to extract the widevine shared library, for example.

Surely there's no way locking down distribution this much helps anything or anyone if working around the terms is simply some minor tedium that can be automated.
