I ask because its my understanding from internal Freescale discussions (from the PPC group) that its Freescale's preference to stick with GPLv2. What Freescale will decide to do if the decision is to move to GPLv3 is not clear at this point.
Freescale isnt alone here, so when/if u-boot goes GPLv3, please dont do your own thing in a vacuum. there will be others who would support a GPLv2 split, so we might as well collaborate. u-boot-v2 looks fairly attractive at this point.
My personal opinion (not necessarily Freescale's) is that working on a community boot loader is beneficial and doing something in a vacuum is a bad idea.
