| The files in the coreboot src/vendorcode subdirectory are supplied by |
| various hardware and software vendors to support their platforms. 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. All files here must have an open source license |
| compatible with coreboot's GPL v2. |
