AFAIK one of the co-developers of the OFW standard war hired by OLPC.
He did most of the needed fixups in the OFW payload of LinuxBIOS instead
of LinuxBIOS itself and when the switch away from VSA was due, he did
not want to implement all the new infrastructure in LinuxBIOS and chose
OFW. He said this was due to him being more familiar with OFW and OFW
having a better+faster set of build tools. Besides that, his company
offers OFW programming/services.
