Dear Wolfgang, I have still some puzzled which you wrote below :
1. Does jump table means the function lists which the standalone applications uses? 2. If the functions includes some u-boot header file, it belongs to derived work or not? Thank you! NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover the so-called "standalone" applications that use U-Boot services by means of the jump table provided by U-Boot exactly for this purpose - this is merely considered normal use of U-Boot, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". The header files "include/image.h" and "include/asm-*/u-boot.h" define interfaces to U-Boot. Including these (unmodified) header files in another file is considered normal use of U-Boot, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the U-Boot source code) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it. -- Wolfgang Denk Best Regards, Peter Chen On Fri, 2009-08-14 at 07:42 +0200, Wolfgang Denk wrote: > Dear Peter, > > in message <1250220295.7144.18.ca...@nchen-desktop> you wrote: > > > > We have a standalone application, and u-boot will supply jump address > > and some services to this application. > > I wonder are there any license problems (GPL or u-boot) for our > > standalone application at below condition: > > > > 1.
