We are trying to package The Hessling Editor for the openSUSE Package Hub, but we've encountered a problem with the licensing. The source code includes two files, getch.c and getch.h, that have a non-GPL compatible license on them. Specifically:
* Permission is hereby granted to copy, distribute or otherwise
* use any part of this package as long as you do not try to make
* money from it or pretend that you wrote it. This copyright
* notice must be maintained in any copy made.

Is there any way those files can be replaced with code that has a GPL compatible license?
