UEFI doesn't need Microsoft's permission to boot Linux. You probably mean Secure Boot, but even then you don't need permission -- you can just disable SB if you want to boot a Linux distribution that doesn't include a bootloader signed with MS's key. As an alternative you can set your own keys for secure boot, sign your own bootloader and be completely sure that you are only booting your own code. -- http://www.brianlane.com
