Hi Kilian,<br>
<br>
From my point of view, the main problem with adoption of CdePkg to
EDK2 is that it relies on Torito C library.<br>
<ol>
<li>Torito C library License
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/KilianKegel/toro-C-Library/blob/master/LICENSE.md">https://github.com/KilianKegel/toro-C-Library/blob/master/LICENSE.md</a>)
only allows for creating UEFI Shell applications.</li>
<ul>
<li>What about applications that do not rely on ShellPkg
(example: SysPrep application that might want to use Redfish,
which depends on C standard library)?</li>
<li>What about drivers/libraries that rely on C standard
library?</li>
<li>How is that compatible with EDK2 BSD-2-Clause-Patent?<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>Torito C is pre-compiled.</li>
<ul>
<li>How can I verify what was actually implemented inside?
Industry would have to trust your tests, perform own set of
tests or/and disassemble it (doable, but unacceptable
effort-wise).</li>
</ul>
</ol>
<p>Unless those problems are solved, I simply cannot use it.</p>
Thanks,<br>
Maciej<br>
