GRUB 2 GSOC 2008 UHCI Support

Some exciting news:-)
Looks like GRUB is looking at UHCI support for a GSOC 2008 project.  
Could this be used for coreboot's payload??

Thanks - Joe

Not sure what you mean? Is all the GRUB2 code that Patrick Georgi  
worked on licensed with something other then GPL?

If we want to use it with libpayload (which I assumed is what you were 
talking about), then it would need to be something other then GPL.

libpayload is BSD licensed.

Patrick is currently working on a BSD/GPL dual licensed USB stack for
