from the article:
"This kind of leak is a dream come true for advanced corporate espionage or intelligence operations."
i disagree. this is banal stuff for "corporate espionage or intelligence". they have that and more for ages. no data that has a price is private.
what is interesting is that we could now have a decent open sourced BIOS implementation. ...Maybe if someone in china or other country with less software copyright starts the project we all can contribute?
- kannanmr 14y agoThis is not the first BIOS source to leak (Award BIOS 6 code leaked 10 yrs ago, am sure still available in your fav torrent tracker). Opensource code will certainly not make use of this leaked implementation, it is asking for trouble.
- marshray 14y agoIBM published a technical reference manual for the PC which included (among other things) a complete commented source code listing of the BIOS.
