Re: [U-Boot] GPL v3 only code in U-Boot

Dear Dirk Behme,

In message 51D3ED44.8080301@de.bosch.com you wrote:

hopefully ;) a short question: We found that the commit

http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commitdiff;h=3c945542dad99b1ec4a324ad6b69...

contains two files

board/qi/qi_lb60/qi_lb60.c include/configs/qi_lb60.h

which seem to be GPL v3 *only*.

Actually it's GPL-3.0+: "version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version".

Is this ok for U-Boot?

No, as GPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 / GPLv2+ which is used in U-Boot. This needs to be fixed. Thanks for pointing out.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
