Hi Pedro,
thanks for the investigation.
What you are proposing are exactly the changes which I have made locally
to integrate the new header file and to prepare a corresponding patch.
Additionally, I deleted everything in the header file which is not used
in our source code. Thus, only the two records are left over. I also
changed the type of the record entries to <const hchar>.
Best regards, Oliver.

Oliver-Rainer;
I looked at the files: the GPL'd file has
only two records and the names don't match the
ones in the XFree86 file.
We shouldn't rename anything in the header, but
change the sources instead. It's not difficult
because both names appear only on hcode.cpp.
cheers,
Pedro.

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

- 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.
