The features you wanted in a free software UEFI are present in existing
UEFI implementations, so I'm not sure what you're asking for.
No need for a shim. Not having to ask permission. It's my
understanding that you are buying a signed key so the installation of
Fedora is not scary.
You're still not making it clear what you want. Hardware without secure
boot? Hardware with secure boot but a different default policy? Hardware
with free firmware that may or may not have secure boot enabled by
default?
Write a new UEFI. No need for a shim. Peter stated what the free
software UEFI on its own hardware should support: "disable Secure Boot
or use your own chain of trust."
This is what current x86 UEFI implementations give us.
Plus, because you appear to be motivated to buy a shim for this reason, write
the UEFI so it does not make it scary to install in any configuration you use
as the empowered owner of the device.
Buy a what now? shim is a piece of software Matthew has been writing. We're
not talking about buying any software.
