There are some dozen authors as the stack was orginally written for
Linux 2.4 and then ported to U-Boot. Probably some bugfixes were also
backported. I don't know. So changing the license is not an option.

Unless there is a separate module with complementary code which is then
released under the GPL. That way, it could also take some more code from
the Linux kernel without running into licensing issues again.

I certainly won't do that, simply because I don't have the time for
that, sorry.
