I believe it does matter, the automation is the thing that needs to _not_ be there, it has to be manually put online by a human employed by Cisco to be covered by the Cisco license.

True, it could be that some human interaction is required at some point to fulfill the license.
But is it enough that a cisco employee has set-up intentionally the automation and the download site?

If not, then we could flip the flow so that we ask cisco to once set up a daily cron+rsync from koji to their server. It should not be any different than cisco internal systems providing the downloaded firmware/codecs to their other appliances (which I assume are automated). I hope the license does not require that for every download and upload there has to be a human explicitly involved.
