Description
Following the instructions at https://lancaster-university.github.io/microbit-docs/offline-toolchains/, when running `yotta build`, I get:
```
info: get versions for bbc-microbit-classic-gcc
info: download bbc-microbit-classic-gcc@0.2.0 from the public module registry

I am quite surprised that for something that seems open-source (http://yotta.mbed.com/#/target/bbc-microbit-classic-gcc/0.2.0 says "Licenses: Apache-2.0"), an account is required just to download public code (as opposed to publishing anything).
I would much rather not give identifying information to a private company just to try out a "hello world" program.
Is there a way to obtain a yotta target without an mbed account?
