Hi,


  I was going through the document in doc/README.standalone. It says I can
add addition functions to export/_export.h:

"   To export some additional function foobar(), the following steps             
   should be undertaken:                                                         
   - Append the following line at the end of the include/_exports.h             
     file:                                                                         
        EXPORT_FUNC(foobar)   "      
    
But the discussion in the following thread by Wolfgang says the standalone
function will have to be GPLed if expanded.

I am confused. Can you please clarify if we can expand the export functions
with both with u-boot code functions and the functions I add to u-boot and
still not to GPL the standalone application if it uses those functions?

Thanks,
-Sudhakar
