.....................Wikipedia
Ronald G. Minnich, a co-author of coreboot, and Cory Doctorow, a science fiction writer and digital rights activist, have criticized EFI as an attempt to preserve intellectual property by removing the ability of the user to truly control his computer.^[39][40] It does not solve any of the BIOS's long standing problems of requiring two different drivers — one for the firmware and one for the operating system — for most hardware.^[41]

TianoCore,^[42] an open-source project which provides the tools to make a fully free firmware based on UEFI, lacks the specialized drivers that initialize chipset functions, thus requiring additional features from the chipset vendor. TianoCore is a payload option for coreboot, which includes chipset initialization code.

Because UEFI can allow for more flexible remote network booting than older BIOS technology, there are concerns over the security provisions in the standard.^[43]
