U-Boot is a big project with many contributors, and somethimes things go wrong, or erros don't get detected. But we try, and I can assure you that we tray really hard, to respect both Copyrightrs and Licenses. In this specific case it seems it was not the U-Boot community in general that messed with your copyright entries, but some specific vendor. I would appreciate comments from the guys who feel responsible for this.
