Its not clear if you've decided that u-boot will move to GPLv3 or
not. If you haven't how will that decision be made? Will we vote as
a community with some bias given to how much one has contributed?
Will you just decide?

I ask because its my understanding from internal Freescale discussions
(from the PPC group) that its Freescale's preference to stick with
GPLv2. What Freescale will decide to do if the decision is to move to
GPLv3 is not clear at this point.
