from the article: "This kind of leak is a dream come true for advanced corporate espionage or intelligence operations."

i disagree. this is banal stuff for "corporate espionage or intelligence". they have that and more for ages. no data that has a price is private.

what is interesting is that we could now have a decent open sourced BIOS implementation. ...Maybe if someone in china or other country with less software copyright starts the project we all can contribute?

This is not the first BIOS source to leak (Award BIOS 6 code leaked 10 yrs ago, am sure still available in your fav torrent tracker). Opensource code will certainly not make use of this leaked implementation, it is asking for trouble.

IBM published a technical reference manual for the PC which included (among other things) a complete commented source code listing of the BIOS.
