Odroid XU4 license of bl1/bl2

[jspricke]

Can you add some license statement to the XU4 fuse directory? Especially about if it's allowed to redistribute them. Please add it as a LICENSE file in the sd_fuse directory.
If the license permits, I will create a Debian package of it for the non-free section. This would allow us to install Debian out of the box without modifications.

Thanks!

According to: https://github.com/hardkernel/u-boot_firmware/blob/odroidxu4-firmware2/LICENSE

The firmware blobs are GPL 3, I've requested the source code as they've marked them as such.

Any update here? Did anyone receive the source code to those?

@laf0rge There is kind of an answer here: hardkernel/u-boot_firmware#1

Would still be great to have some license clarificationhere.

I am not really sure how the mixed license can be managed can be together yet. When the guys pushed the blobs to the git is to support non-expert and I guess that's not the best way anyway. Regardless of where and how the files are shared, the license should be clarified. U-boot source code is already shared through Github, other binaries - bl1.bin and tzsw.bin - are the proprietary of Samsung, Even I've looked up the Samsung opensource site how they manage the license for such blobs, unfortunately, no luck. Since they are not Hardkernel's proprietary, not able to set the commercial license as Hardkernel wishes.

I would happily accept the suggestion.
Thank you.
