[ltp] Can you trust your firmware?

Hello!

are there any open source alternatives to the IBM/Lenovo BIOS firmware 
available? I would enjoy to compile the BIOS firmware by myself.

I wonder about how much confidence I can have into my computer system if 
such a crucial(?) component like the BIOS firmware is proprietary source 
code?

Or is my concern unfounded?

Regards,
Marc
