arm64. The big thing that's missing is support for PCIe graphics cards
during boot: lots of people want to be able to see the splash screen and
change settings without needing to connect to the BMC VGA port.
Currently that means we need an x86 emulator to load the optrom on the
vast majority of cards.
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.
That's my understanding too. My confusion is that Unicorn has two
license files:
https://github.com/intel/unicorn-for-efi/blob/main/COPYING
https://github.com/intel/unicorn-for-efi/blob/main/COPYING.LGPL2
I don't know if that just means that parts are under the GPL and others
the LGPL (which would still mean the combined project is GPL-licensed).
