The BMC's firmware is also open: https://github.com/open-power/hostboot

Here's a blog post with some details: https://blog.jms.id.au/2015/07/openpower-firmware-stack/

Hostboot (and skiboot) is loaded from the BMC, but it's not the BMC firmware - hostboot and skiboot run entirely on the host.

The BMC firmware we're currently working on at IBM (based off some work by Facebook) is at https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc.
