Re: [U-Boot-Users] DNS support in U-Boot

Hello Wolfgang,

Something like this?

Signed-off-by: Pieter Voorthuijsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I'm sure the code will be adapted by someone as it is only for 1.2.0, will they 
also add their signed-off lines?

The answers from the author, Sergey Lyubka, where:

If the license still poses a problem, I think the best/fastest thing is to 
rewrite the pieces of TADNS still left in the code. It's not rocket-science, 
but to what level do we need to rewrite it?

I think that such a license will not conflict with the GPL, but I  am
not  a lawyer, and it would be easier if it was released under GPLv2.
Do you think you could ask the author  to  re-release  it  (at  least
alternatively) under GPLv2 ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
