Dear Rafal,
I somehow had developed the impression thatthe API code was intended
to be some "next generation" implementation for standalone programs,
with one of the primary purposes being the implementation of
(potentially closed source) bootstrap loader code for FreeBSD.
But now I realize that the API code is actually linking against parts
of the U-Boot code, so any code based on the U-Bott API must in-
herently be GPLed.
Please confirrm that this understanding is correct. Thanks in
advance.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
