Dear Graeme Russ,
In message 4C8A1F2A.8020805@gmail.com you wrote:
I know you are favouring a migration of U-Boot to GPLv3, but currently it is still licensed under v2 (although most code is v2 'or later')
I have some v3 code I would like to bring in (from GRUB). Will that cause any issues?
It is my understanding that you cannot "downgrade" GPLv3 code, i. e. you cannot link it into a GPLv2 project. But then, I'm not a license expert, and IANAL.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
