The files in the coreboot src/vendorcode subdirectory are supplied by
|
||
|
|
various hardware and software vendors to support their platforms. While
|
||
|
|
these directories and files are a part of the coreboot project, their
|
||
|
|
licenses, coding styles, and maintenance may be significantly different
|
||
|
|
than the rest of the coreboot codebase.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By contributing these directories and files to the coreboot codebase,
|
||
|
|
the authors and copyright holders have agreed to the use and
|
||
|
|
modification of these files by the coreboot community, however the final
|
||
|
|
ownership and responsibility still remains with the company that
|
||
|
|
contributed the files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ideal goal would be to properly integrate these files into coreboot
|
||
|
|
proper. But such undertakings should be coordinated with the owners.
|
||
|
|
Community modification should in general be limited to fixing issues and
|
||
|
|
adding functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Licenses for the files were determined by the copyright holder when the
|
||
|
|
files were contributed. All files here must have an open source license
|
||
|
|
compatible with coreboot's GPL v2.
