Hi Guido,
A while back you added nand_util.c to U-Boot, with a copyright statement
of "Copyright (C) 2006 by Weiss-Electronic GmbH. All rights reserved."
At best the "All rights reserved" clause is meaningless, and at worst it
is in conflict with the statement that the code is licensed under the
GPL. Wolfgang Denk has taken the latter interpretation, and is
threatening to remove code from the repository that contains this phrase.
Are you authorized to remove the "All rights reserved" clause on behalf
of Weiss-Electronic GmbH? If so, please submit a patch doing so. If
not, and you can't find someone who can, it looks like we'll have to
replace the code.
Thanks,
Scott
