So with 11, is killing Rufus, or are they going to play nicely now? Asking for a friend.
This is a very serious question BTW.
The hard requirement of SecureBoot validated by the installer means the installer cannot be ran from Rufus flash drives.

Linux kernel is GPLv2, not GPLv3. GPLv3 has specific clauses restricting secure boot implementations. By taking the code, signing it and distributing it Microsoft would be constrained by the GPLv3 license.
This is GPLv3 working by design. It's designed to forbid doing this.

I think Microsoft is correct about this. It's a consequence of using GPLv3. GPLv3 forbids a secure boot setup with an immutable root of trust rather than it always being possible for the user to use the key of their choice. If you use GPLv3 you forbid setups with hard-wired keys.
