It is copyrighted by Wolfgang Denk and +many others who contributed code (see the actual source code and the +git commit messages for details). You can redistribute U-Boot and/or +modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public +License as published by the Free Software Foundation. Most of it can +also be distributed, at your option, under any later version of the +GNU General Public License -- see individual files for exceptions. + + NOTE! This license does *not* cover the so-called "standalone" +applications that use U-Boot services by means of the jump table +provided by U-Boot exactly for this purpose - this is merely +considered normal use of U-Boot, and does *not* fall under the +heading of "derived work" -- see file Licenses/Exceptions for +details. + + Also note that the GPL and the other licenses are copyrighted by +the Free Software Foundation and other organizations, but the +instance of code that they refer to (the U-Boot source code) is +copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it. +-- Wolfgang Denk + + +Like many other projects, U-Boot has a tradition of including big +blocks of License headers in all files. This not only blows up the +source code with mostly redundant information, but also makes it very +difficult to generate License Clearing Reports. An additional problem +is that even the same licenses are referred to by a number of +slightly varying text blocks (full, abbreviated, different +indentation, line wrapping and/or white space, with obsolete address +information, ...) which makes automatic processing a nightmare. + +To make this easier, such license headers in the source files will be +replaced with a single line reference to Unique License Identifiers +as defined by the Linux Foundation's SPDX project [1]. For example, +in a source file the full "GPL v2.0 or later" header text will be +replaced by a single line: + + SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ + +Ideally, the license terms of all files in the source tree should be +defined by such License Identifiers; in no case a file can contain +more than one such License Identifier list. + +If a "SPDX-License-Identifier:" line references more than one Unique +License Identifier, then this means that the respective file can be +used under the terms of either of these licenses, i. e. with + + SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ BSD-3-Clause + +you can chose between GPL-2.0+ and BSD-3-Clause licensing. + +We use the SPDX Unique License Identifiers here; these are available +at [2]. + +[1] http://spdx.org/ +[2] http://spdx.org/licenses/ + +Full name SPDX Identifier OSI Approved File name URI +======================================================================================================================================= +GNU General Public License v2.0 only GPL-2.0 Y gpl-2.0.txt http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt +GNU General Public License v2.0 or later GPL-2.0+ Y gpl-2.0.txt http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt +GNU Library General Public License v2 or later LGPL-2.0+ Y lgpl-2.0.txt http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.0.txt +GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 or later LGPL-2.1+ Y lgpl-2.1.txt http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt +eCos license version 2.0 eCos-2.0 eCos-2.0.txt http://www.gnu.org/licenses/ecos-license.html +BSD 2-Clause License BSD-2-Clause Y bsd-2-clause.txt http://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause +BSD 3-clause "New" or "Revised" License BSD-3-Clause Y bsd-3-clause.txt http://spdx.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause#licenseText +IBM PIBS (PowerPC Initialization and IBM-pibs ibm-pibs.txt + Boot Software) license
