so if the imported GRUB code stays at GPLv3, and is only for x86, and all of the code Graeme is using from u-boot is GPLv2+, then the final result there is under GPLv3 only. but all his GPLv3 code, assuming it's specific to x86, wont affect other architectures.
But Graeme would also have to make sure not topick up any partsof the U-Boot code that are GPLv2 (without the "or later" phrase). A license nightmare...
i agree, and i'm glad i dont have to deal with this ;) -mike
I plan on doing a complete GPLv3 audit to see if we can create a usable U-Boot build which is 100% GPLv3 compatible
