For a legal point of view we do not care Barebox is GPLv2 ONLY as it does contain quite a lot of file GPLv2 ONLY and yes we DO can add GPLv2+ file into it IIRC we already had this conversation on the ML before with Sascha & I over it and state that Barebox will be GPLv2 Only It’s a statement for company that invest in Barebox that tomorrow the licence will not evolve So they can have longterm plan with it (legal point of view) Best Regards, J. _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
