Good day, Elmar! 7 years ago I submitted this humble request (https://forum.plop.at/index.php/topic,1846.msg7446.html#msg7446) to opensource PBM 5. Then I waited 5 years in anticipation checking your website from time to time, but it turned out that a new PBM 6 sadly is closed source too, with no obvious reasons in sight...
Considering that PBM 6 has been released recently, please could you opensource at least the 13 years old PBM 5 ? Hope you aren't waiting it to turn 18 before releasing him from the house ;D Unfortunately, at the moment the Feature Table at Boot Managers (https://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html) page goes like this:
PBM 5: can be started from a floppy - YES, open source - NO
PlopKexec: can be started from a floppy - NO, open source - YES
PBM 6: can be started from a floppy - YES, open source - NO
coreboot+SeaBIOS opensource BIOS supports adding the virtual floppy images, and it makes me sad to see that none of your boot managers have "YES" in these two fields
