| Even though U-Boot in general is covered by the GPL-2.0/GPL-2.0+, | |
| this 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". | |
| The following files define interfaces to U-Boot: | |
| * include/image.h | |
| * include/export.h | |
| * arch/*/include/asm/u-boot.h | |
| * examples/standalone/stubs.c | |
| Including these (unmodified) files in another file is considered normal | |
| use of U-Boot, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work". | |
