+ U-Boot is Free Software. It is copyrighted by Wolfgang Denk and
+many others who contributed code (see the actual source code and the
+git commit messages for details). You can redistribute U-Boot and/or
+modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public
+License as published by the Free Software Foundation. Most of it can
+also be distributed, at your option, under any later version of the
+GNU General Public License -- see individual files for exceptions.
+
+ NOTE! This license does *not* cover the so-called "standalone"
+applications that use U-Boot services by means of the jump table
+provided by U-Boot exactly for this purpose - this is merely
+considered normal use of U-Boot, and does *not* fall under the
+heading of "derived work" -- see file Licenses/Exceptions for
+details.
+
+ Also note that the GPL and the other licenses are copyrighted by
+the Free Software Foundation and other organizations, but the
+instance of code that they refer to (the U-Boot source code) is
+copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
+-- Wolfgang Denk
+
+
+Like many other projects, U-Boot has a tradition of including big
+blocks of License headers in all files. This not only blows up the
+source code with mostly redundant information, but also makes it very
+difficult to generate License Clearing Reports. An additional problem
+is that even the same licenses are referred to by a number of
+slightly varying text blocks (full, abbreviated, different
+indentation, line wrapping and/or white space, with obsolete address
+information, ...) which makes automatic processing a nightmare.
+
+To make this easier, such license headers in the source files will be
+replaced with a single line reference to Unique License Identifiers
+as defined by the Linux Foundation's SPDX project [1]. For example,
+in a source file the full "GPL v2.0 or later" header text will be
+replaced by a single line:
+
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
+
+Ideally, the license terms of all files in the source tree should be
+defined by such License Identifiers; in no case a file can contain
+more than one such License Identifier list.
+
+If a "SPDX-License-Identifier:" line references more than one Unique
+License Identifier, then this means that the respective file can be
+used under the terms of either of these licenses, i. e. with
+
+ SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ BSD-3-Clause
+
+you can chose between GPL-2.0+ and BSD-3-Clause licensing.
+
+We use the SPDX Unique License Identifiers here; these are available
+at [2].
