LinuxBIOS code is licensed under the GPL, which requires the source code to be made available on request. That prevents binary-only distributions. Besides, what's the benefit of a binary-only LinuxBIOS over a binary-only PhoenixBIOS?
I'm not saying binary-only, just asking if it would be possible to _ALSO_ have a binary format available. I haven't tested LinuxBios because the HW that I have isn't compatible, but I believe that the most difficult part is the creation of those binary images.
That said, it may be possible to write GPL'd source code based on documents provided under NDA. It all depends on the specific terms of the NDA. There is no such thing as a "standard" NDA.
I agree, but I thought that NDA is pratically anti-GPL.
Thanks for your time!
