Note that I have not done a full review of this source to satisfy myself
about the legalities, and am not asserting anything either way about the
package as a whole (and as a result am also not accepting it directly);
I have only reviewed enough to be address Andy's previous comment.

The code under uvp-monitor/securec contains copyright notices of the
form:

  * Copyright @ Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. 1998-2014. All rights
reserved.

"All rights reserved" is not a statement of any license or lack thereof.
This is particular legal boilerplate language, historically required
under certain (now obsolete) copyright treaties, which is part of the
declaration of *copyright*.

If there is a top-level distribution license, there is no conflicting
statement in this directory about distribution terms (which "all rights
reserved" is not), and there is evidence that the code was submitted
upstream to a GPL-licensed project by the copyright owner, that is
sufficient grounds for assuming this is on the up-and-up and this does
not need to be a blocker for acceptance into the archive.
