While +these directories and files are a part of the coreboot project, their +licenses, coding styles, and maintenance may be significantly different +than the rest of the coreboot codebase. + +By contributing these directories and files to the coreboot codebase, +the authors and copyright holders have agreed to the use and +modification of these files by the coreboot community, however the final +ownership and responsibility still remains with the company that +contributed the files. + +The ideal goal would be to properly integrate these files into coreboot +proper. But such undertakings should be coordinated with the owners. +Community modification should in general be limited to fixing issues and +adding functionality. + +Licenses for the files were determined by the copyright holder when the +files were contributed.
