we've kicked that idea around here too. For instance with serverworks, we
know what piece does dram init, and we don't feel like figuring it out.
However, lawyers are thick on the ground in the US, especially now that
they've left Florida. I am sure that someone would find a reason to sue
you for copying that bios. You're allowed to use it to start the machine,
but that's about it. Copying it will get you in trouble, even for just
your own use.
