U-Boot is a big project with many contributors, and somethimes things
go wrong, or erros don't get detected. But we try, and I can assure
you that we tray really hard, to respect both Copyrightrs and
Licenses.


In this specific case it seems it was not the U-Boot community in
general that messed with your copyright entries, but some specific
vendor.

I would appreciate comments from the guys who feel responsible for
this.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
