I'm no expert on EULAs and not a laywer.

I think you'd be covered by the Toshiba download if you displayed the EULA
and had people accept it. The generic toshiba EULA seems to say that you
need to accept that you won't redistribute it for each machine you put it
on. By having the user confirm the EULA to download, you'd be doing more
than the toshiba site does.

Here's the link to the broadcom driver download I used:
http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/TC00384700F.exe.
They have lots of other bluetooth driver packages as well.

And the generic EULA linked on the download page:
http://support.toshiba.com/support/navShell?cf=su_eula&pf=true

They have instructions for an unattended install, which states that using
the software constitutes acceptance of the EULA. This seems to be a tacit
acceptance that the installer is redistributable, as unattended installs
are generally done using the same files on many machines.

Not sure if that helps. Maybe someone with more experience can help out
here.
