Dear Simon Glass,

Well I found a very short version:

but it is inaccurate. We could perhaps change it to:
- Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be
- found in the COPYING file.
or something similar? But so much of U-Boot already has the full version that I'm not sure this is a good idea. Here is the one I am using>
# This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or # modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as # published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of # the License, or (at your option) any later version.
Note that this is the GPL, and _not_ any BSD-style license !
Yes. I've gone with the longer one, just removing the CREDITS. That seems to be the most common message in U-Boot.
You appear to miss the point. You switched the licensing model from BSD to GPL - not that I would complain about such a move, on contrary, but I wonder if this is intentional and agreed by the authors of the code?
Yes I am now completely lost :-)
Where have I changed the licensing model?
Your original request was to remove the CREDITS line I think. I have done that in this patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/197314/
The above discussion about copyright message is separate to that. I was looking around the code base for a possible replacement (shorter) message because I thought that was what you were looking for. I found the BSD one, but have not changed any code to use it.
So yes, please can you explain what I am missing here?
Regards, Simon
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
