Fedora Pays Microsoft Boot License fee.

[Derek Trotter]

I just don't like the idea of buying a uefi motherboard and not being 
able to run the OS I want to on it.  Maybe I will want to install an OS 
that predates uefi.  According to the dangerous prototypes article, it 
looks like that could be a problem if the manufacturer of the 
motherboard doesn't like the particular OS I'm trying to install.

If I'm missing something, please let me know.

thanks
