I've just become involved in a project which is using U-boot as the bootloader. This is a smallish embedded system. I'm trying to find the right way to handle the use of U-boot. What sort of acknowledgements, source code availability, etc. are expected here.
The license is GPL a very widely used license that your company probably already know how to handle.
short version is that if somebody ask for the source to u-boot you better give it to them but this is not the right list to discuss GPL or any other license. http://www.fsf.org/licensing/
U-boot isn't ever visible to the user; the system boots up and launches the application. There is a small LCD screen; and really nowhere to display much. Minor changes have been made to the U-boot source; to customize it for the hardware and the software download of new firmware.
Thanks,
