Also, uboot.mk mentions that the license is GPLv2+, but the U-Boot COPYING file says: U-Boot is Free Software. It is copyrighted by Wolfgang Denk and many others who contributed code (see the actual source code for details). You can redistribute U-Boot and/or modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation. Most of it can also be distributed, at your option, under any later version of the GNU General Public License -- see individual files for exceptions. So I guess that formally speaking U-Boot is GPLv2 only, and not GPLv2+.
