I used the gnu page back then. Apache2 is compatible with GPLv3 but not
with GPLv2 [0]. Some parts of the code I played around (the android
image header file for instance) was under the Apache2 license and in
another git tree under the two-clause BSD license which was compatible
with GPLv2 [1].
So the argument about incompatible licenses is valid here. Should
u-boot switch to GPLv3 you need to hunt down that file again and this
time with the apache2 license :)
