So does this just need to be documented, or is it a problem that the boot loaders have GPLv2 code in them? At a quick glance, it seems there might be a licence incompatibility with refind (some files GPLv3+). If so, that should be 'fixed' by limiting the architectures refind is built for, though obviously it would be better to get this code in gnu-efi relicenced.
