Subject: [U-Boot] "All rights reserved" in drivers/mtd/nand/nand_util.c
Date: Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:58:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A9EEA68.2080203@freescale.com> (raw)

Hi Guido,

A while back you added nand_util.c to U-Boot, with a copyright statement 
  of "Copyright (C) 2006 by Weiss-Electronic GmbH.  All rights reserved."

At best the "All rights reserved" clause is meaningless, and at worst it 
is in conflict with the statement that the code is licensed under the 
GPL.  Wolfgang Denk has taken the latter interpretation, and is 
threatening to remove code from the repository that contains this phrase.

Are you authorized to remove the "All rights reserved" clause on behalf 
of Weiss-Electronic GmbH?  If so, please submit a patch doing so.  If 
not, and you can't find someone who can, it looks like we'll have to 
replace the code.

Thanks,
Scott
