I trust that AMD is not going to hunt us down if we check out the complete svn tree (copy) with the intent to develop for non-AMD systems. Still, the legalese feels a bit weird.
You bring this up every time I update microcode patches. This has been worked out in the past. The statement seems very straight forward to me (but I am not a lawyer).
I wish to apologize. I can't seem to remember having made a similar statement in the past, but I'm not going to object the inclusion of this code. Go ahead.
I think I dug up the license objection you're referring to and it was made by Stefan. http://coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2008-April/033624.html
Anyway, you made the intent clear and I won't complain in the future.
Seems that I am the one that needs to apologize. I thought you had brought this up before. I am sorry for blaming you for something you hadn't done.
