Later in the week, Linus did clarify his thoughts on how UEFI and secure boot should work for Linux:

Now that FreeBSD has stepped into the UEFI ring:

I think it is important to focus on "how" secure boot for UEFI should be used for BSD, not just how it should be used for Microsoft.

Linus thinks that the user should be able to sign their own modules and put their own keys into the PC BIOS.
