I have no idea how someone would make a choice 
between MIPS bootloaders (YAMON, U-Boot, CFE, Redboot(?),
and whatever else), but just so all the options are out 
there, here's access and licensing information for the 
Broadcom CFE bootloader: 

1. CFE's license is BSD-style.  It's also considered "GPL
    compatible" so you can take files from CFE and link into GPL'd
    programs.

2. It's available to anyone at
