The answer I got back is
http://lists.mailman.uefi.org/pipermail/fw_os_forum/20160105/000004.html
and in short, individuals are welcome to (and apparently many have) sign
and execute the agreement.  People that work for companies that have
already signed the agreement are good to go.  To me, this is reasonable
for the goals U-Boot has with respect to UEFI implementation.
