[U-Boot] U-book and GPLv3? (fwd)

[Jerry Van Baren <gvb.uboot@gmail.com>]

The discussion has mostly been emotional to date.  Here are some 
statistics (not necessarily perfect, but pretty close)...

Total number of files (after removing the .git files):
$ find . -type f | wc -l
6055

Number of files that are identified as being copyrighted:
$ grep -l -i -r 'Copyright' * | wc -l
5173

List of files with copyrights:
$ grep -l -i -r 'Copyright' * | sort > ~/ucopy.txt

List of all files:
$ find . -type f | sed 's/.\///' | sort > ~/ufiles.txt

List of files *WITHOUT* the string "copyright" in them:
$ comm -3 ~/ufiles.txt ~/ucopy.txt > ~/nocopyright.txt

Of the above, 130 of the files have the GPL in the header but not the 
string "copyright" - incomplete headers:
for file in `cat ~/nocopyright.txt` ; do grep -il 'General Public 
License' $file ; done | wc -l
130

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Total number of files that are GPLv2:
$ grep -i -r 'Free Software Foundation' * | grep -i 'version 2' > 
~/ugplv2.txt
$ wc -l ~/ugplv2.txt
4588

Number of files that are GPLv2 *or later*:
$ grep -i -r 'Free Software Foundation' * | grep -i 'either version 2' | 
wc -l
4512

76 files are GPLv2 *ONLY*:
$ grep -i -v 'either version 2' ~/ugplv2.txt | awk '{print $1}' | sed 
's/:$//'

Number of files that are BSD licensed (but the seven (7) libfdt files 
are dual-licensed "GPLv2 or later" / BSD):
$ grep -r 'EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES' * | wc -l
156

Number of doc/* files (most have no copyright statement):
$ find doc/ -type f | wc -l
147

Number of doc/* files that *do* have a copyright statement:
$ grep -il copyright doc/* | wc -l
15


This implies...
    156 -    7 = 149 files use the BSD license (7 dual licensed)
   5173 - 4588 - 149 = 436 files have license header problems
                           or a different license?
   6055 - 5173 = 882 files don't have a copyright statement in them.
    147 -   15 = 132 doc/* files have no copyright
    882 -  132 = 750 files are not doc/* files and don't have copyright
