## Summary
The code in libmisc/stringto cannot be relicensed to 2-BSD because all authors 
have not given permission. The header file _cpukit/include/rtems/stringto.h_ 
and test code are already 2-BSD. 

The proposed plan is to revert the C implementation files to the last revision 
(e8d59ca6af8991e23309bddd9b200f06c0e9d4a7) where all authors have given 
permission to relicense. 

The git [commit 
history](https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/commits/main/cpukit/libmisc/stringto/stringtofloat.c?ref_type=heads)
 shows that the commits on 2011-02-01 are the ones which cannot be relicensed. 
Revert to the 2009-07-22 commit and reimplement the functions. Work in later 
commits by people other than Ralf can be used.

The existing header file and test (string01) should **NOT** be modified. The 
test cases must pass at the end of this.

It is recommended to run coverage on this new implementation. Additions to the 
test string01 may be needed to improve coverage on the new implementation.
