(5) A header from GNU c library

hwpfilter/source/ksc5601.h

Are we allowed to use it in the build?


I looked this up and it appears to be part of an old
version of GNU libiconv. XFree86 also has a copy
under a liberal (MIT?) license:

http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/lib/X11/lcUniConv/ksc5601.h
Where do you see that this comes with a liberal license?


The XFree86 Project never adopted GPL software and they would
never go around removing copyrights. Being an
X derivative they prefer an MIT like license. To be strict
one has to start climbing the source tree though.

OTOH, the BSDs have their own implementations of libiconv so
this header shouldn't be a problem at all.

Cheers,

Pedro.
