I used the gnu page back then. Apache2 is compatible with GPLv3 but not with GPLv2 [0]. Some parts of the code I played around (the android image header file for instance) was under the Apache2 license and in another git tree under the two-clause BSD license which was compatible with GPLv2 [1]. So the argument about incompatible licenses is valid here. Should u-boot switch to GPLv3 you need to hunt down that file again and this time with the apache2 license :) [0] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#apache2 [1] https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeBSD > > Best regards, > Marek Vasut > Sebastian _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
