Hi,
Sure, they are freely redistributable and you are welcome to do that.

The http://qemu-advent-calendar.org/ website has credits for each disk
image showing who created the image.  For example, "Disk image prepared
by Alexander Graf, game by Jochen Voss".  Please include the credits.

In order to comply with the license on GPL images you will need to offer
the source code (see links on http://qemu-advent-calendar.org/ for each
image).

The shareware DOS games are freely redistributable so you can publish
that image too.

The Zork UEFI image requires internet access because the Zork game
binary is *not* freely redistributable.  When you run the image it
prompts the user to download the Zork binary since we are not allowed to
distribute it ourselves.

I'm CCing Matthew Hungerford at Pebble to confirm that the Pebble
Smartwatch image can also be distributed.

Stefan
