I see the same notice in the board-specific OpenCore-files i've been working on (fpga).

It would be very interesting if someone from TS could clarify how "CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL,

PROPRIETARY AND TRADE SECRET INFORMATION OF TECHNOLOGIC SYSTEMS" should be interpreted and related to, and if there is a general "PRIOR WRITTEN PERMISSION AND CONSENT OF TECHNOLOGIC SYSTEMS" for the files available from the ftp.

If this is being distributed as part of Linux binaries, compiled into a kernel they are providing then clearly it is a GPL violation. You can't add propreitary extensions to the Linux kernel. You must make the source available to all those you provide binaries to, and it must be licensed under the GPL. Putting any restrictions on code distributed as part of Linux is not permitted.
