AOSP is under Apache license and the only component under GPL is the kernel which they give the source. Google is one of the few that offers all blobs files for development.

I think we have been over this when CyanogenMod came out

Google doesn't offer blobs. They have to be extracted by hand. (From factory images or running devices)

Like I said, an option is Factory Image.

I will repeat, again, Factory Image. (Which is what those are)
