The hardkernel exynos boards require closed bl1/tzsw binaries from
samsung, and a bl2 binary signed by hardkernel which seems to be a
u-boot spl constructed from somewhere in u-boot/board/samsung ?

The c1 seems to need a closed bl1 binary from amlogic.

While these can be found in hardkernel's u-boot repository under
"sd_fuse"  there is no license information.

So it looks like they are not redistributable and thanks the the usual
arm mess need to share a storage device with the os in order to boot
making it impossible to have a miniroot that boots everywhere.

At least the raspberry pi bootcode.bin and start.elf have a license
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/LICENCE.broadcom
though it looks sub-par compared existing broadcom firmware licenses
in the tree, ie:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/microcode/bnx/bnx-license?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain
