1The files in the coreboot src/vendorcode subdirectory are supplied by 2various hardware and software vendors to support their platforms. While 3these directories and files are a part of the coreboot project, their 4licenses, coding styles, and maintenance may be significantly different 5than the rest of the coreboot codebase. 6 7By contributing these directories and files to the coreboot codebase, 8the authors and copyright holders have agreed to the use and 9modification of these files by the coreboot community, however the final 10ownership and responsibility still remains with the company that 11contributed the files. 12 13The ideal goal would be to properly integrate these files into coreboot 14proper. But such undertakings should be coordinated with the owners. 15Community modification should in general be limited to fixing issues and 16adding functionality. 17 18Licenses for the files were determined by the copyright holder when the 19files were contributed. All files here must have an open source license 20compatible with coreboot's GPL v2. 21
