4Even though U-Boot in general is covered by the GPL-2.0/GPL-2.0+,
5this does *not* cover the so-called "standalone" applications that
6use U-Boot services by means of the jump table provided by U-Boot
7exactly for this purpose - this is merely considered normal use of
8U-Boot, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

10  The header files "include/image.h" and "arch/*/include/asm/u-boot.h"
11define interfaces to U-Boot.  Including these (unmodified) header
12files in another file is considered normal use of U-Boot, and does
13*not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
