What license is linuxbios under?

I'm assuming GPL.  However I didn't see any specific reference on the
webpage and grepping the latest CVS source tree for GPL only yeilds
about 10 lines of results indicating that a few of the utils are GPL.

I ask because I have a project that we are quoteing on that will
require the BIOS to do image self-validation via:

United States Federal document # FPS 180-1 for Secure Hash Algorithm
United States Federal document # FPS-186-1 for Digital Security
Standard

Shoehorning the above into our current COTS bios developemnt kit
looks to be really painful. Especially since they just changed the
support contract to cost lots more $$ for advanced stuff like this.

So I'm hoping I will finally have enough leverage to switch to
linuxBIOS for this project but I worry that the algos involved with
the above (which I have yet to read) may conflict with the GPL.
