Hello Frank,
Please can you have a look into this thread to see what it has brought.
Nice would be to get answers for questions regarding the redistribution of
ROMs/Firmware.
Additionally I would like to consult some undocumented bit which is documented
in SB600 but not SB710. Maybe it is a documentation issue. Maybe not.
More info [coreboot] [PATCH] RFC AMD powernow generation for pre fam 0fh
Thanks,
Rudolf
Thanks for the great news! Please do you know what kind of BSD license
it is? The "two clause"/"three clause"?
The Open Source Review Board of AMD has decided the upcoming release of
Agesa and the chipset CIM modules for our Family14h CPU will be under a
dual license: GPLv2 and BSD. As the coreboot community, do you have any
issue with this? If not, are there any specific coreboot requirements
that must be met because of the dual license scheme? Thanks for your
help.
I'm not aware of any issues so far. I'm perfectly fine with GPLv2.
However for dual licensing scheme some kind of policy of what changes
are under what license must be adopted/developed. I can tell now only "I
don't know/I cannot think out any implications out of that"
I hope others will jump in eventually with some ideas how to handle
that. Most likely we can assume what linux kernel folks are doing (and
avoid kind of flame wars in this topic).
As a side note, I would like to ask about the permissions for example to
redistribute the VGA ROM images/EC images/Microcode is this covered
somehow in the release also?
How is the plan to integrate to code into Coreboot?
I hope other developers share some ideas too (especially if I missed
something)
Thank you,
Rudolf
