[olpc-software] Which BIOS will OLPC have ?

[Goodrich,Steven]

Just to emphasize what Ron said: The source code we provided to Ron,
including the PCI emulation code from our SMM handler, has been released
under GPL.  That PCI emulation code is available to use within the
limits of the GPL.

Does this clear it up?

I'll say it again, and cc: steve goodrich, and let him say it with
authority. My understanding is that this PCI emulation code IS NOT and
WILL NOT be proprietary!
