All new code that gets added to U-Boot shall use GPLv3-compatible licensing since there are plans to move later versions of U-Boot to version 3 of the GPL. Therefore we ask for "GPL, either version 2, or (at your option) any later version" phrase.
Um, that doesn't seem possible. Or, is U-Boot simply going to delete any GPL-v2-only code? I don't have stats, but I would guess that there is a significant amount of GPL-v2-only code, isn't there?
I do not have stats too and do not know the details how it is supposed to be done. In my understanding switching go GPLv3 it is a long term goal and we shouldn't make it harder by adding more GPLv3 incompatible code. Ccing Wolfgang, maybe Wolfgang can tell more here.
BTW, is this documented anywhere for reference?
It is documented here [1].
Thanks, Anatolij
