Hi,
the low-hanging fruits are hanging quite high ;-)
Thus, as given at [1], we can get file ksc5601.h from [2] under a Apache
permissive license.
Unfortunately, the provided file [3] does not contain a license or
copyright header. But a copyright file [4] exists at the same location
as ksc5601.h which contains the copyright and license not only for
ksc5601.h, but for all files at [2]
My proposal to go ahead is:
- copy the following contents of the copyright file [4] into the
downloaded ksc5601.h file
<contents from copyright file [4] to be copied into new ksc5601.h file>

</contents from copyright file to be copied into new ksc5601.h file>
- replace the current ksc5601.h be the one created by the first step.
- adjust dependencies of our source code on ksc5601.h accordingly, if
needed.
- add a corresponding statement in the NOTICE that parts of the source
code are on the copyright from Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Is this ok and conform to Apache regarding 3rd party licenses?
Best regards, Oliver.
