UEFI License confusion
Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2020 7:36 pm
I'm interested in making my own, private implementation of UEFI headers, instead of using EDK. I have looked at uefi[dot]org and on download page for specification and in documentation itself stated that this document and herein content is read only, and I have no license (I assume also permission) to reproduce, implement or otherwise use for any purpose (other than to read only) the UEFI Specifications.
Do I misunderstood the statement and the specification is open for everyone to implement?
