Ask upstream, looks like they've been rather reluctant to mess
with license text actively -- I've packaged a permission to do
whatever I want into README.ALT as provided by David.

I didn't even get to try it out (maybe could work on UEFI with
CSM enabled but that's not something one can count on, and plain
memtest86+ could be booted via CSM just as well then).

Should have told that too, sorry :-/
