Not sure.
 
"The most uncooperative company is Intel, which has
started a sham "open source" BIOS project. The
software consists of all the unimportant parts of of a
BIOS, without the hard parts. It won't run, and
doesn't bring us any closer to a BIOS that does run.
It is just a distraction. By contrast, AMD cooperates
pretty well."
