Hi Carl-Daniel,
BTW, I'm paul@astro.gla.ac.uk and also paul.millar@desy.de. Both addresses will work, but I try to keep the DESY account for work stuff. I'm also subscribed to the coreboot mailing list, but I'm not always up-to-date with the latest developments :)

I'm one of the developers of flashrom http://www.flashrom.org/ which aims to be a generic utility for programming all kinds of flash EEPROMs on your mainboard, on storage/network/graphics cards, and in external programmers. There is some interest in integrating parts of your firebrand code to support a Willem backend/driver for flashrom. Would that be OK with you? flashrom is GPLv2.
I think that's an excellent idea. The code-base is available under LGPL v2.1 and was written with as a library to facilitate people using it in their own software. That said, I believe the supplied CLI tool is the only code that links against the library, so if the API proves problematic, we can try to adjust it to match.
Incidentally, the project is now also available from the SVN repository here:

Cheers,
Paul.
