Thinking about this a bit more I figured that this reasoning just doesn't work. HDGF is a "work based on" chunks_parse_cmds.tbl, and thus falls under section 5 of GPLv3. Unless we can get the original author to grant as an alternative license to the file, it should be removed or replaced in one way or another. I filed bug #46361 [1] for this.
