Hi Simon A couple of important points: * TF-A does not aim to replace U-Boot SPL; it aims to reduce fragmentation in secure firmware. The permissive license may not be ideal but from an OSS PoV, but it enables much wider adoption than other licensing schemes. But that's perhaps a philosophical

Hi Jose, I don't think this is correct. TF-A is a project that aims to replace U-Boot SPL (and perhaps other components) with more closed firmware, e.g. the permissive license. This spec needs to be in a neutral place, not captive of one project. Given its close relationship to device tree, I su
