Dear Sanjeev,
In message B85A65D85D7EB246BE421B3FB0FBB59301DD430918@dbde02.ent.ti.com you wrote:
Is it possible to redistribute the mkimage binary outside
the u-boot package?
Yes, of course this is possible. It's Free Software under GPL, so you can modify and/or repackage it as you like. Just make sure to fulfill the requirements of the GPL which still apply, no matter how you split it off...
U-boot and Linux kernel sources are available in the same package, but the intent was to allow linux developers to bypass the step to build u-boot just get this binary.
Best regards, Sanjeev
