Package: sdcc Version: 2.9.0-5 Severity: serious Since the 2.9.0 release sdcc is in the process of changing the lbrary license to GPL+LE. The process is mostly complete. While doing so, some files of unclear license status were found. Rights holders have been contacted and, with one exception (), agreed to license their files under GPL+LE. This exception is Microchip Technology Inc. They insist on a "the file can be used only with authentic Microchip devices" condition, which clearly violates DFSG ยง6.
The problem affects the pic and pic16 ports only. All problematic header files live in the include/pic and include/pic16 directories. In the Debian package these are installed into the /usr/share/sdcc/include/pic and /usr/share/sdcc/include/pic16 directories. The problematic source files live in the device/pic and device/pic16. For the upcoming 3.0.0 release we intend to clearly separate the problematic files from the rest of sdcc.
