They are _really_ _honestly_ making their EFI stuff _freely_ available: Excerpt of the Usage Agreements for the source code Grant of License to Use [..] You acknowledge and agree that You will not, directly or indirectly: (i) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to discover the underlying source code or underlying ideas or algorithms of the Software; (ii) modify, translate, or create derivative works based on the Software; (iii) rent, lease, distribute, sell, resell or assign, or otherwise transfer rights to the Software; or (iv) remove any proprietary notices in the Software. [..] IANAL, but do I get it right that before I am allowed to see their sources for _participating_ in their neat little project I have to accept that I am not going to _modify_ them or discover the way they work? The derivative work clause almost seems like nothing compared to this. There are 17 more paragraphs which I did not even dare reading anymore. Poor guys who made the mistake clicking on "I agree".. "All your bases are belong to us". Stefan _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
