If the license is compatible I think that's a good idea.
yeah, I agree with you both.

Is there any way a system can work completely without it?
one way, which I've done, is for a kernel to supply its own code, i.e. move the responsibility for supplying M-mode code to the kernel and away from firmware.f
This would remove some concerns people have about run-time firmware, since there would not be any :-)
