[coreboot] Licensing question

[Rudolf Marek]

Hello Frank,

Please can you have a look into this thread to see what it has brought.

Nice would be to get answers for questions regarding the redistribution of 
ROMs/Firmware.

Additionally I would like to consult some undocumented bit which is documented 
in SB600 but not SB710. Maybe it is a documentation issue. Maybe not.	

More info [coreboot] [PATCH] RFC AMD powernow generation for pre fam 0fh

Thanks,
Rudolf
