OK, let us back the truck up, so to speak. This particular version of the file has an odd license. Looking at https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/lk/+/master/app/aboot/aboot.c [54963a727d3e4ed1e945c7ec012b5cc5de168ac5] and it has the normal BSD-3-Clause text. Lets grab and adapt that so we can drop the license issue.
OK -- "v3" coming soon!
OOPS! -- this "aboot.c" does not contain the support for the "sparse image format" -- I cannot use this file!
Can you poke around more for a version of aboot.c that has sparse image support and comes more directly from google.com and thus hopefully someone caught the rather strange license text changes?
I have previously spent hours looking for: (1) sparse_format.h -- which we now have (thanks to Colin Cross) (2) any implementation of the "while()" loop which parses this "sparse format" This implementation, in aboot.c (also recommended by Colin Cross), is also available from "Code Aurora" -- but it has the same wording as the "Linux Foundation" file; I have not found it anywhere else. I cannot spend any more time on this license issue.... Please keep me informed of the outcome! Thanks, Steve
