Hello.

hplip included questionable licensed code.

File List:

"prnt/hpcups/ErnieFilter.h"
"prnt/hpcups/ErnieFilter.cpp"

This license is "hardware specific" license.
It is non-free, incompatible GPL license.

This is code (software), not firmware.


This problem already reported. (Debian)

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=816870


I suggest that resolve license problem.


Thanks.

Title:
  Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with
  HP products)

Status in HPLIP:
  New
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in hplip package in Debian:
  Fix Released
Status in hplip package in Fedora:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The headers of ErnieFilter.cpp and .h say:

  //    This software is licensed solely for use with HP products.  
Redistribution
  //    and use with HP products in source and binary forms, with or without
  //    modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are 
met:

  
  As such, the code is non-free because I cannot safely redistribute it. Could 
that be changed to a normal 3-clause BSD license like the other files?
