It is available for free, but under a special license that prevents you from using it for any hardware that is not a MIPS "Authorized Product". See http://www.mips.com/LicenseMapper/Yamon_license An alternative is to use U-Boot, the universal boot loader that covers not only MIPS but also PowerPC, ARM, and even x86 systems. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-boot U-Boot is strictly GPL.
