+SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
+
+ 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].
+
+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+ OR BSD-3-Clause
+
+you can choose between GPL-2.0+ and BSD-3-Clause licensing.
+
+We use the SPDX Unique License Identifiers here; these are available
+at [2].
+
+License identifier syntax
+-------------------------
+
+1. Placement:
+
+ The SPDX license identifier in U-Boot files shall be added at the first
+ possible line in a file which can contain a comment. For the majority
+ or files this is the first line, except for scripts which require the
+ '#!PATH_TO_INTERPRETER' in the first line. For those scripts the SPDX
+ identifier goes into the second line.
+
+|
+
+2. Style:
+
+ The SPDX license identifier is added in form of a comment. The comment
+ style depends on the file type::
+
+ C source: // SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+ C header: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression> */
+ ASM: /* SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression> */
+ scripts: # SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+ .rst: .. SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+ .dts{i}: // SPDX-License-Identifier: <SPDX License Expression>
+
+ If a specific tool cannot handle the standard comment style, then the
+ appropriate comment mechanism which the tool accepts shall be used. This
+ is the reason for having the "/\* \*/" style comment in C header
+ files. There was build breakage observed with generated .lds files where
+ 'ld' failed to parse the C++ comment. This has been fixed by now, but
+ there are still older assembler tools which cannot handle C++ style
+ comments.
+
+|
+
+3. Syntax:
+
+ A <SPDX License Expression> is either an SPDX short form license
+ identifier found on the SPDX License List, or the combination of two
+ SPDX short form license identifiers separated by "WITH" when a license
+ exception applies. When multiple licenses apply, an expression consists
+ of keywords "AND", "OR" separating sub-expressions and surrounded by
+ "(", ")" .
+
+ License identifiers for licenses like [L]GPL with the 'or later' option
+ are constructed by using a "+" for indicating the 'or later' option.::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: LGPL-2.1+
+
+ WITH should be used when there is a modifier to a license needed.
+ For example, the linux kernel UAPI files use the expression::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note
+
+ Other examples using WITH exceptions found in the linux kernel are::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH mif-exception
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ WITH GCC-exception-2.0
+
+ Exceptions can only be used with particular License identifiers. The
+ valid License identifiers are listed in the tags of the exception text
+ file.
+
+ OR should be used if the file is dual licensed and only one license is
+ to be selected. For example, some dtsi files are available under dual
+ licenses::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause
+
+ Examples from U-Boot for license expressions in dual licensed files::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 OR MIT
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0+ OR BSD-3-Clause
+
+ AND should be used if the file has multiple licenses whose terms all
+ apply to use the file. For example, if code is inherited from another
+ project and permission has been given to put it in U-Boot, but the
+ original license terms need to remain in effect::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT
+
+ Another other example where both sets of license terms need to be
+ adhered to is::
+
+ // SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-1.0+ AND LGPL-2.1+
