IANAL, but as far as I know it's very important it's GPLv3 which means the antitivoization clause, which means that hardware that uses this firmware must provide full source code and a way to let you use your own firmware. If somehow this code is not in a firmware... No idea. |

some of this design IS firmware - the lowest level bootstrap is encoded into an internal ROM - currently it's a very dumb bootstrap, a real implementation would boot from a number of possible sources. The sources are there on github.
All the ARM systems you can buy today have a similar embedded boot loader - almost all of them do not release that source, because it's the root of their secure boot chain.
IMHO this code should be public (but not the keys)
