Both CC-BY and CC-BY-SA have "no endorsement" clauses, and the source of derived materials will still be easily traced back to coreboot.org (or archive.org or wherever). > or claim Coreboot contributors' > work as their own.

Section 3.A.4 of the BY license covers that: "If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying with this Public License." So distributing a derived work with a different license does not nullify the original terms. -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
