[free-electronic-lab] SDCC license issue

[rrankin at ihug.com.au]

A Fedora license issue has been reported against SDCC. The items in
/usr/share/sdcc/non-free are not compatible with the GPL license.
These are files derived from files obtained from Microchip relating to
the PIC processor family. Currently in testing is SDCC-3.3.0 for F19
which does not contain the above directory tree. This will be pushed
to stable after the waiting period is over unless a blocking issue is
reported. In the next few days I plan to take the same action for F18,
F20 and rawhide.

As I am not an active user of SDCC, I do not know the impact to PIC
users of doing this, but it is either what I have done or remove the
package from Fedora,

Regards,
Roy Rankin
Fedora SDCC packager
