It couldn't hurt if more people that actually care about this spoke up on edk2-devel about the issue, or perhaps within a UEFI working group. Because, I know that they've stopped listening to me about it.
Is this useful? I can try to make noise.
Possibly. But, I don't want to give you false hope. :)
I assume since folks like you who have much more credibility and familiarity in this space have given up, it's a lost cause.
I think customers/partners reporting an issue directly can sometime be more persuasive than a lone engineer saying this somewhat obscure licensing thing will be an issue for free software projects.
No, but I've always thought that QEMU was happy to have alternative firmware projects.
We are and we're happy to accept patches to enable things even if its proprietary. But that's all assuming we're improving hardware emulation.
What we're talking about here is doing something that's very un-hardware like.
Fair enough. I know that it's been done by other VMs, but you certainly have a point in that real systems don't do this.
