80286 ROM BIOS - open-source code base?
I found kaneton/appendix-bios: IBM AT 80286 BIOS (github.com), but I don't see anything about licensing.

MartyPC is a cycle accurate PC XT Emulator and the first to run 5150 Demo
Just wanted to point out that you don't need to hunt down any ROMs to run Area 5150, if you use the current release (0.1.2) it will run out of the box using an open-source ROM called GLaBIOS . The distribution includes Area 5150 (with permission), just start MartyPC, select the floppy and enjoy.
