IANAL, but from the FSF GPL FAQ, you just have to make sure the source 
code is available.  Since Blue Swirl is an Open BIOS maintainer, I think 
we can say with confidence that the openbios code will always be 
available.  If that situation changed for some reason, we'd have to 
mirror their code.
