I'd like to known if it's possible to update the COPYING

 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".

to also include the API as a non derived work as the standalone?

that sounds like a bad idea. then people could add all the API hooks they wanted rather than just the ones we deemed they could use. basically you're opening up all of u-boot for direct access.

what exactly are you trying to accomplish ? -mike
