A quick question on the license issue. If I understand correctly,
U-Boot can boot proprietary applications that are not licensed under
GPL such as VxWorks. There is a boot hook for VxWorks in the
distribution.
I see no point where the license could be not clear  about  this.  As
long  as  you  don't  link against U-Boot code, or use U-Boot code to
otherwise create derived works, you can do whatever you want.

Would you please confirm that?
ACK.
