Hi Jon,
There is an enormous practical consideration stopping the licensing change. u-boot has not required copyright assignment. This means that every single person that has contributed code to u-boot needs to give their permission for the change.
This is not correct. People who wrote code under "GPLv2 or later" licenses would not need to be queried. The project could use the sources under a later version.
Cheers Detlev
