In the spirit of FIRST, I don't see any issues with hosting this online for other teams to use.

The issue is not a GP one. It
is in the spirit of FIRST to help teams get missing software. However, the issue is a legal one, because it basically contains expensive software for free, in violation of copyright laws.
The proper procedure for obtaining a missing USB key is through FIRST. If they had reported the missing key immediately (did they?) they would probably already have a replacement.
