I really enjoy the name U-boot.
What are the advantages of U-boot over PMON?

Have you considered moving U-boot to "GPLv3-or-later"?

I know that we have had similar discussions before (see for example
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/24029), but I
would like to take the chance and re-poll what the community's
opinion about this is.

Comments welcome...

[I intend to summarize and send this summary to RMS and post it here.]

Best regards,

I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.
