What do you think, Henrique?
Yes, it is much better to wait for a new download to be made available, with the mcu-path-license-2018 version of the distribution license inside. The text of this license is the same (or very close to) the older license that Intel used in the .dat format for a *long* time. It is non-free, of course, but it is both distributable and usable, as far as I know (IANAL). Now, we wait. Feel free to send email to this bug report if you notice the mcu-path-license-2018 release is already available. There is no need to open a new bug report about it ;-) -- Henrique Holschuh
