This bug was fixed in the package hplip - 3.16.5+repack1-1
---------------
hplip (3.16.5+repack1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Repack the 3.16.5 upstream release to remove
prnt/hpcups/ErnieFilter.{cpp,h} source files as they are non-free
(Closes: #816870) (LP: #1553628)
* Add patch to disable ErnieFilter usage everywhere, to cope with the repack

Title:
Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with
HP products)
Status in HPLIP:
New
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in hplip package in Debian:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The headers of ErnieFilter.cpp and .h say:
// This software is licensed solely for use with HP products.
Redistribution
// and use with HP products in source and binary forms, with or without
// modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are
met:
As such, the code is non-free because I cannot safely redistribute it. Could
that be changed to a normal 3-clause BSD license like the other files?
