I doubt that you'll be able to or want to _merge_ them. They're totally different with different design, different programming language etc. etc.
What is very well possible, though, is to improve interoperability, and to use good ideas and concepts from OFW to enhance LinuxBIOS, and vice versa.
Even code sharing might be possible to a certain degree (the licenses are compatible, IIRC), but completely _merging_ the projects is not realistic, IMO.
It sounds to me that OFW is a pluggable Firmware Framework, which means that it is LinuxBIOS and more.
What can LinuxBIOS do OFW can't?
Thanks!
