Well, if some perceived legal constraint is keeping us from doing whatever seems to be technically most appropriate we should investigate the matter and resolve it. If, on the other hand, it simply makes sense to use something else, then no sense belaboring the point. People just seem to be really paranoid about GPLv3 and Grub. We're already talking to the FSF about how they handle copyright attribution on their own projects, so I suppose we could get their opinion on UEFI as well. However, I don't see anything in the language of the license that creates a problem when using it with UEFI, unless one wants to sell locked-down hardware. Doing that would be a violation of our social contract, let alone the GPLv3. Rich
