There are no implied IP issues with using the information there I know of and
if there's any fine print anywhere that may suggest so, please let me know.

Using the information should be fine, but my understanding of the UEFI 
forum rules is that any submissions to UEFI specs must be from UEFI 
forum members - there are concerns around accidentally including 
patented material.

The documents in question are not regarded as UEFI specs, however.  They
are just hosted by UEFI.

The easy way around this is just for the bindings to 
be managed outside UEFI.

Again, there's a difference between UEFI material and the UEFI hosting
something (but not maintaining it).

In principle, the bindings could be hosted by UEFI, but maintained by
community members.
