I second that, having a more permissive license on that file would
make a lot more sense.
You need that or a similar file in basically any software project
using OR1K, so all a too restrictive license do is prevent people from
using openrisc.
Unfortunately, that file has been composed by a large number of people
over the year, so I don't think we can change the license of _that_
file without their permission.
Tracking people down just to get a non-gpl license on that file seems
like a lot of trouble though.
That's why I suggested on IRC to make a "cleanroom" version of it by
generating a new file from e.g.
https://github.com/openrisc/mor1kx/blob/master/rtl/verilog/mor1kx-sprs.v
