No, Apple probably does not ship a GPL-licensed GRUB loader.

You might want to look into Cloverboot and Hackintosh community solutions.

I presume you've read RodsBooks.com.
http://www.rodsbooks.com/linux-uefi/
http://rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/index.html

You might try looking into using rEFInd instead of GRUB.

I don't think Apple provides a UEFI shell compiled for their systems.
I'd love to see a support article that shows how to do that!

Is there and end-user support forum for Apple EFI issues for end-users?
Especially now that Apple has eficheck.

The boot-dev list seems close, but is abandoned and for developers only.
https://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo
https://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/boot-dev
https://lists.apple.com/

It seems the best choice is to do a general post on the Discussions site?
https://discussions.apple.com/
https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?q=EFI

You might try the GRUB support list:
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub
https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=grub
https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-mailinglist.html

Another option may be StackExchange.

Thanks,
