Is fair as I know bsd-3L-clause license is compatible with GPL.
However, to be 100% sure I'd like to ask Tom (as he has much more
legal experience than me) to confirm that this code can be added to
u-boot.
OK -- note that this "bsd-3L-clause" clause is almost identical to
the existing "bsd-3-clause"....
Tom, could you give your opinion on this?
So, upstream made a slight (and likely unintentional) change to the
normal BSD 3 clause license and changed the last clause from "the
copyright holders" to "The Linux Foundation". I've poked our legal dept
about this but I suspect the best answer is to go back up to Android
folks and ask them to fix this quite likely unintentional change.
Actually, there are three diffs, and I am thinking that they were
intentional (especially the last one!):
$ diff bsd-3-clause.txt bsd-3L-clause.txt

So, would U-Boot accept this BSD-3L-Clause, or should I contact Colin
Cross to attempt to get a BSD-3-Clause version, or ????
Thanks, Steve
