While it is good that the "Licenses/" directory contains the text for all licenses that are applicable to u-boot code, it is harder to determine at a glance what the default and/or preferred license is. While humans can look at the Licenses/README file, this is not machine parseable, making it tricky for license detection tools to automatically determine/report on the overall / aggregate u-boot license. The project previously had a top level COPYING file containing a short blurb, followed by the GPL license text. This was removed back in commit eca3aeb352c964bdb28b8e191d6326370245e03f when the "Licenses/" directory was introduced. For the benefit of automated tools, it is helpful to retain a top level COPYING file in the repository. Rather than duplicate the license text, however, a symlink from the Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt file should suffice. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
