For all of edk2, or OVMF?

Also, I hope you're aware that edk2 / OVMF is not free software. Please
see "FatBinPkg/License.txt". That's not necessarily a problem; it
depends on whether you insist on distributing free software only.

(Although, as I recall from my very-very brief stint in Gentoo, you
might not be distributing edk2 at all -- only the ebuild files are
distributed, which instructs each user's machine to download and build
the package on the spot. Anyway, it's good to be aware of the FAT status.)

How so?

I don't understand what this means.

What samples?

... I'm asking all these questions because the initial packaging of OVMF
in Debian wasn't right, and it prevented users from using OVMF with
libvirt for a while. So if this is the initial packaging of OVMF for
Gentoo, it's better to get it right at once.
