Given the amount of time we spent in discussions with AMD ca. 2006/7, about making the microcode license work, this is one argument I'm not going to believe. The vendors have been good about making sure they don't break GPLv2. > > With this quote, I do not understand why you are against moving microcodes > to blobs.git.

I can not see how moving the microcode to a separate repo improves the situation. ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
