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.
