Dear Jorgen Lundman,
In message 4FBB4195.3000207@lundman.net you wrote:
That is a problem. U-Boot is nominally GPLv2+ which would allow inclusion of GPLv3 code but there are significant portions of U-Boot which are GPLv2 (Linux kernel code for example) which is a blocker :(
Originally the first checking has GPLv2. So GRUB bumped up the version somewhere along the way. I can go back to GPLv2 source, as there are no differences.
Please provide (as part of the commit message) _exact_ reference for the origin of that code.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

But it's real. And if it's real it can be affected ... we may not be
able to break it, but, I'll bet you credits to Navy Beans we can put
a dent in it.
