Phoronix: NVIDIA Signed Firmware Published For Pascal GP102/GP104/GP106/GP107

This is a start. It seems that nVidia has been slightly more reactive for Pascal GPUs compared to Maxwell's.

By the way, what is the license of such micro-blob firmware? Can anyone take and distribute them? Is R-I acceptable, legally?

License files are on the git:

Redistribution is allowed on opensource operating systems, like most linuxes. Reverse engineering is not allowed.
