Hi,
Issue. -------
1) Downloaded u-boot-2010.09 source code. (u-boot-2010.09.tar.bz2http://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-2010.09.tar.bz2) 2) Some files, have version & header information along with the source code.
Ex: 1) In u-boot-2010.09/arch/arm/cpu/ixp/npe/include/IxI2cDrv.h
* @version $Revision: 0.1 $
2) In u-boot-2010.09/arch/i386/cpu/sc520/sc520_asm.S
* $Revision: 1.2 $ * $Date: 1999/09/22 12:49:33 $ * $Author: chipf $
3) When I do a check in for these files, using CVS, these header information is changed. CVS is automatically modifying these headers.
Eg :
In u-boot-2010.09/arch/i386/cpu/sc520/sc520_asm.S
* $Revision: 1.2 $ * $Date: 1999/09/22 12:49:33 $ * $Author: chipf $
If I do a check in, it will be changed to
* $Revision: 1.1.1.2 $ * $Date: 2013/12/16 12:49:33 $ * $Author: Arun $
Doubts ---------
1. Why only few files have these kind of header information in Uboot repository ?
2. If I do a check in via CVS, the headers will be modified, So will it be a violation to GPL ?
3. If it is a Violation , please help me with a solution .
Thanks & Regards, Arun
