Can we mix it with GPLv2/CDDL code without any downsides?
Good question. But the GPLv2 code is not in rombios.c (but in logo.h, logo.c) and moreover VirtualBox uses the same rombios.c with their GPLv2 logo.[ch]... perhaps we can ask Sun lawyers ;-) ? I'm the author of all the code added to rombios.c to manage splash screen and I agree to put this under LGPL. For the logo.[ch], I keep only approximately 20% of original VirtualBox code (data structure, to set vga mode, to clear screen and some name), if needed I can rewrite this to put logo.[ch] under LGPL.
