I support this, but then we should *always* print this message, not only "when it starts in an interactive mode" (or some guys could try to get away by disabling interactive mode).
Such a restriction is (fortunately) not enforcable by the license, which only covers interactive interfaces. Otherwise, it would make u-boot useless for environments where interactive mode would interfere with other uses of the serial port (or when no suitable device exists).
Personally, I'd rather stay far away from invoking any clauses of a non-changeable license that dictate technical decisions such as which bytes to include in the final image.
