Hello Peter,

  

I'm Borut Razem and I'm working as a developer on SDCC project since

2002. I'm addressing you in the name of SDCC developers and users since

you are the co-author of the SDCC library code.

  

For the SDCC 3.0.0 release we plan to change the sdcc library license

from GLP / LGPL / "who knows what else" to GPL+Library Exception license,

which allows to use the SDCC library in "non open source" (proprietary)

projects. The SDCC compiler license will remain GPL.

  

The voting table is athttp://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/wiki/Library%20License%20Selection  <http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sdcc/wiki/Library%20License%20Selection.>.

  

Can you please add your vote to the table or send it to me or to the

sddc-developer listsdcc-devel@...  <mailto:sdcc-devel@...>. I'd appreciate you

answer ASAP in any case, even if you don't agree with the license change.

  

Thank you for you contribution,

Borut,

yes, I am the original contributor of these header files. As I do not
longer develop anything x51 based I also do not track the SDCC
development anymore.
I'm fine with changing the SDCC library code to GPL+LE. Feel free to
add my vote to the voting table


Best regards,
Bernd.

I'm very sorry for responding so late. Your mail ended up in my SDCC
mailbox, which I have not checked for quite a long time. Sorry for
delaying the release of SDCC through my late response.

I'm OK with the GPL+LE change.

Thanks a lot, Borut for all you efforts and successes in library
relicensing!

That means we now have three categories of sdcc library files:

* Those under GPL+LE (most)
* The Microchip non-free ones (many, but only relevant to pic and pic16
port)
* Files under LGPL (four)

Since the LGPL is a rather unproblematic license I do not consider it
necessary to do anything about the four LGPL files for the 3.0 release.

Philipp

Hi,

I have a question about some of the library sources 
which have a GPL+LE. What if the user needs to adapt 
them to the system? Will that render his/her project 
GPL? I'm thinking of _startup.c, _heap.c or crtbank.asm 
and probably more.

Maarten, good question!

I think the adopter have to make the changed files available, but they 
remain GPL+LE, so they can be used in closed source projects.

But I might be wrong...

Philipp and others, thaks for your support!
