Interestingly, since the original release in 2017, around which I did receive some feedback, I have not received a single piece of feedback (positive or negative) ever since. So while I'm happy that there is a better solution for them now, I'm kind of annoyed by the fact that not a single person ever bothered to report any issue that they encountered while using the original version. > Since suggesting they try MultiArchUefiPkg they've said it's working > much better, and in fact some people have proceeded with enabling it in > their firmware. > arm64 firmware? Or RISC-V? There are many more options now for native drivers on arm64, so I'd expect the relevance of this hack to diminish but I guess RISC-V is at a different point on this curve. > > I'm a bit confused about the licensing of MultiArchUefiPkg given the > license file says it's LGPL while it uses the GPL-licensed Unicorn library. > > Does that mean the overall licensing for it will be GPL? > LGPL is more permissive, so the combined work cannot be used under the LGPL terms only under GPL (with the usual disclaimer of me not being a lawyer) Note that it doesn't really matter for edk2-non-osi as long as the LICENSE file is accurate. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
