As Julien wrote in comment#2, there are more files and directories in hplip source tarball, whose are mentioned neither in COPYING file nor copyright file and they have different licenses then mentioned in COPYING and copyright files. Gaurav, is there any update on this matter? Would anyone in HP mind changing these licenses to e.g. GPL+?
