Hello Sandeep,

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 author of majority of the SDCC library code.

For the SDCC 2.7.0 release we plan to change the sdcc library license 
from GLP / LGPL / "who knows what else" to an unified license, which 
allows to use the SDCC library in "non open source" (proprietary)
projects.  Currently the most promising license is GPL plus Library (or 
Runtime) Exception. The license of the SDCC compiler will remain GPL.

Mark Swayne prepared a voting table with description of licenses a
http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/release_wiki/index.php?page=Library+License+Selection. 

Can you please add your vote to the table or send it to me or to the
sddc-developer list sdc...@li... <mailto:sdc...@li...>. I'd appreciate you 
answer ASAP in any case, even if you don't agree with the license change.

Thank you for you enormous contribution and to create the base for our work!

Borut & SDCC developers and users
