I have no idea how someone would make a choice between MIPS bootloaders (YAMON, U-Boot, CFE, Redboot(?), and whatever else), but just so all the options are out there, here's access and licensing information for the Broadcom CFE bootloader: 1. CFE's license is BSD-style. It's also considered "GPL compatible" so you can take files from CFE and link into GPL'd programs. 2. It's available to anyone at http://sibyte.broadcom.com - click on 'Resources.' sf
