Cover letter [U-Boot] [PATCH 0/9] EFI payload / application support

So, my only "big" concern here is, are we as a community able to view and implement the relevant parts of the UEFI spec (without having to agree to a potentially complicated enough license to have to bug a lawyer)? It's been a while since I tried to view a copy so I'm hoping the answer is now yes. Thanks!

So:
1) You can certainly read the specification without agreeing to anything (click-through is now gone - docs accessible straight from
http://uefi.org/specifications/).

Thats good.

2) The potential complication would be with regards to implementing and distributing - which requires signing the Adopters Agreement:
http://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Adopters_Agreement_100907.pdf

I actually think the implications of 2) for a project like U-Boot would be a useful thing to bring up for discussion on the FW/OS forum mailing list at http://uefi.org/FWOSForum.

OK, I'll bring it up over there, thanks!
