[U-Boot-Users] Copyright and license for mkimage

[Cam]

Hello Wolfgang

I am hoping to clarify the rights to use and distribute the mkimage binary.

I would like to distribute a mkimage binary (or possibly a derived work) 
to facilitate checking uImage files as part of a remote software update.

The mkimage binary is made from crc32.c which is amenable to such use:

(a URL for version 1.1.3 of zlib.h is 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/gnu-darwin/zlib-1.1.3/zlib.h?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=1.1.1.1 
)

However the mkimage.c file is:

  * (C) Copyright 2000-2003
  * DENX Software Engineering
  * Wolfgang Denk, wd at denx.de
  * All rights reserved.

What advice can you give? Has anyone else used mkimage in this way?

Thanks

-Cam
