I can't change the copyright because I don't hold copyright on those files like the header file. For instance I haven't found any documentation on the file format which is only described in the header file. The header file is only available under BSD license (not accepted by Wolfgang) and under Apache v2 (not compatible with GPLv2 but with GPLv3 according FSF). So unless - Wolfgang changes his opinion on GPLv2 vs BSD license or - we get the code relicensed by Google or - we get some documentation under a reasonable license and (can) re-implement it from scratch I don't see any movement here. >Thanks >M Sebastian ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

I see, let's try solving this as well as possible. Thanks for your effort so far! Cheers! M ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot

[U-Boot] Fastboot gadget, v2. repost
This is a repost of 19.10.2011. This series contains a small version of the fastboot gadget. I removed the flash/mmc/write to media part and re-add once I'm through with this basic thing :) This "basic" gadget supports the retrieval of variables (like serial number), reboot functionality, download of binary data and booting them in case the binary data is a bootable image. I did not include the fastboot client in this series. Remy asked about this. I could take it and stash it in tools if someone really wants this to have. This would include the fastboot and libzipfile folder from Andorid's system/core repository. An online version can be found at [0]. I haven't seen the library somewhere else than Android. For basic testing, the library could be excluded. v1..v2: fixed all issues that came up so far, including: - s/andoir_img_get_kload/android_img_get_kload/ spotted by Mike - adjusted Copyright message to GPLv2 or later for f_fastboot.c and removed "change" comments. - removed two header files in example patch 3/3 I believe that the "All rights reserved" problem got resolved.

[U-Boot] Fastboot gadget, v2
This series contains a smaller version of the fastboot gadget. I removed the flash/mmc/write to media part and re-add once I'm through with this basic thing :) This "basic" gadget supports the retrieval of variables (like serial number), reboot functionality, download of binary data and booting them in case the binary data is a bootable image. I did not include the fastboot client in this series. Remy asked about this. I could take it and stash it in tools if someone really wants this to have. This would include the fastboot and libzipfile folder from Andorid's system/core repository. An online version can be found at [0]. I haven't seen the library somewhere else than Android. For basic testing, the library could be excluded. v1..v2: fixed all issues that came up so far, including: - s/andoir_img_get_kload/android_img_get_kload/ spotted by Mike - adjusted Copyright message to GPLv2 or later for f_fastboot.c and removed "change" comments. - removed two header files in example patch 3/3 I believe that the "All rights reserved" problem got resolved.
