+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".

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

+  Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
+Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the U-Boot
+source code) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
