I really enjoy the name U-boot. What are the advantages of U-boot over PMON?
Have you considered moving U-boot to "GPLv3-or-later"?

I know that we have had similar discussions before (see for example http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/24029), but I would like to take the chance and re-poll what the community's opinion about this is.
Comments welcome...
[I intend to summarize and send this summary to RMS and post it here.]
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
