Description

Dear LinuxBoot - Team,

I'd like to consider adding [corebootnerf](https://github.com/linuxboot/corebootnerf) to the [package wishlist](https://github.com/OS-1337/pkgs/blob/main/docs/WISHLIST.tsv) of [`OS/1337`](https://os1337.com) and subsequently it's planed [repository](https://github.com/OS-1337/pkgs/) which necessitates a license to be specificed.

- The [`config.go` file](https://github.com/linuxboot/corebootnerf/blob/5b42116f363469534177cdd98e6fd82145a29239/config.go#L2)'s "BSD-tyle License" nor any `LICENSE` file (or substitute like `COPYING` or whatever) is nowhere to be found.

I'd be fine with just a clarification which BSD license it is.

- Even if it's just [0BSD](https://spdx.org/licenses/0BSD.html) which I use (or whatever fits your purposes. After all, your project doesn't seem to use [copyleft licenses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft) and even if it did that would be fine by me.)...

Yours faithfully,

[Kevin Karhan](https://karhan.guru)
[`OS/1337`](https://github.com/OS-1337/) developer / maintainer

PS: I do like the idea of [LinuxBoot](https://www.linuxboot.org) very much and would love to make `OS/1337` be directly integrateable as a minimalist "`toybox + musl / linux` distro" to boot into as a low-level integrated recovery system.
- Also I'd see it as a better "Evaluation-capable OS" since Microsoft Lobbyists made it basically illegal to sell complete PCs *without a preinstalled OS* in Germany (Which is why HP ships FreeDOS on their cheapest non-Windows preinstalled offerings!)...

Research direction

Start with the BSD-style license reference in config.go at the linked line and check the repository for a LICENSE, COPYING, or substitute file. Confirm the intended BSD license with the maintainers, then document that choice in the repository so downstream packagers can identify it.
