See file barebox.git/arch/x86/mach-i386/reset.c:
--- begin ---
* This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
* modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
* published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of

I think that this text does not conform with the proposition "Barebox
is GPLv2 Only project" (there are the words "or any later version").

The more suitable version can be found in
linux-2.6.39/arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-reset.c:
--- begin ---
*  This program is free software; you can distribute it and/or modify it
*  under the terms of the GNU General Public License (Version 2) as
*  published by the Free Software Foundation.
--- end ---

But let's check:

 $ cd barebox.git
 $ grep -RHn "or (at your option) any later version" . | wc -l
431
 $ make clean
 $ find -type f | grep -v "\(^./.git\|^./Documentation\|^./scripts\)" | wc -l
1640

At least 431 of 1640 files (approx. 26 %) are GPLv3-compatible.
