Just curious.
Why is that dynamically load proprietary library and call APIs in it from u-boot is violating GPL when Linux allows loadable modules that can be proprietary? Is'nt this same mechanism?
Several of the core Linux developers disagree (and do, often) that such things are allowed.
You should be consulting a lawyer a lawyer who is familiar with the GPL, not a bunch of programmers on a mailing list.
