ping!
Hi,Philippe Mathieu-Daudé:
Would like to know if there is any progress in the discussion on this issue?
In addition, is the compilation of our UEFI done on the fedora38
operating system
or on a later version of fedora?
The loongarch cross-compilation tool on the fedora38 operating system is
a bit old,
and there is a problem with the UEFI of the compiled loongarch,
so I want to ask about the UEFI compilation environment.
Thanks,
xianglai

edk2-platforms.git use the same license than edk2.git,
BSD-2-Clause-Patent, which is compatible with GPLv2. At least this is
not
edk2-non-osi.git.
Still, we should discuss this generic issue before going forward with
this patch IMO.
Okay, I also think that there is no need to include EDK2 source code
in the tar ball,
you can package the git repository of QEMU for distribution,
and compile the BIOS binary package before release,
so that there is no need to include BIOS code,
QEMU users can also get the source code of BIOS through Git Submodule.
This is only my opinion, and I look forward to the outcome of the
final discussion.
Thanks,
xianglai

Phil.
