We copied one of your Makefiles as template. There is still some generic
board Makefile lines left ofcourse. Same as is used on every board.

The intention here was to give you the copyright to the changed file as
it's more part of the build system than any board specifics. I
presonally do not consider the board specific additions as
copyrightable.

You want me to keep your old copyright from 2003 and add my own?

Or only keep your old copyright from 2003?

Regards
Henrik
