In 4.4 of BBR when discussing LBBR recipe we do provide a note to point to the OSF checklist. However, SystemReady is not the place to require it. Arm supports both open and commercial firmware.
Indeed. Should we express not a requirement but a categorization so that customers can know what is the firmware level of ownership (valid even with commercial firmware)? Category 1: full open source Category 2: mostly open source with binaries redistribution license (OSF) Category 3: commercial firmware with private redistribution license

Hi
back in April we had a workshop on firmware sustainability. Since then a number of discussions related concerns on closed source components in
TF-A
and U-Boot communities. We are also approaching a technical maturity
level
on SystemReady that it looks timely to revisit this aspect.
Would it be a good move to adopt the Open System Firmware check list https://www.opencompute.org/wiki/Open_System_Firmware/Checklist as
part
of SystemReady?
*NOTE1: believe SystemReady is at right level as it addresses compliance of platforms. EBBR is a technical recipe to make it work for a particular environment (like SBBR) and so not the best place to deal with redistribution license of binary blobs and other platform owernship aspects.*
*NOTE2/ Adoption could come in different forms: referring to it,
crafting a
similar one for SystemReady scope, any other smart ways of doing it.*
Cheers
