This package was debianized by Hakan Ardo hakan@debian.org on
Wed, 20 Sep 2000 22:08:40 +0200.
It was downloaded from:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/avr-libc/
Copyright:
The copyright picture of those libs is quite complictaed. For an exact
picture you'll have to look at each source file separately. The
LICENSE file contains some sort of summary and here's how the
upstream author Marek Michalkiewicz <marekm@linux.org.pl> looks at it:
> It's in the source files, but not all of them.
>
> As far as I am concerned, I try to keep avr-libc as free as possible
> (the GPL or even LGPL is too restrictive for many embedded applications).
> The following copyright is in a few of the source files:
>
> Copyright (C) 1999 Marek Michalkiewicz <marekm@linux.org.pl>
>
> Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and
> its documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted,
> without any conditions or restrictions. This software is provided
> "as is" without express or implied warranty.
>
> (I'm not a lawyer, so if anything needs to be changed, please let me know.)
>
> But some files were written by others:
>
> Michael Stumpf <Michael.Stumpf@t-online.de> wrote the "fplib" floating point
> library. As I understand from asking the author, it is under the GPL.
> I will try to contact him and ask if it's OK to add a special exception
> as in libgcc (GPL, but OK to link with code compiled by GCC). Until then,
> linking with libm.a may make the application fall under the GPL.
>
> A few *.c files have BSD copyright. There are alternative versions under
> the LGPL (borrowed from glibc I think) but these are not built by default.
>
> Denis Chertykov <denisc@overta.ru> wrote a few example files, which are
> under the GPL (but are not part of the library itself), and first version
> of gcrt1.S (C startup) but it has been changed a lot since then so there
> isn't much of the original code anymore. There is no copyright info,
> but my understanding (from what we agreed on in crt1.s for the old AVA
> assembler) was GPL with special exception as in libgcc (OK to link with
> code compiled by GCC with no restrictions). In any case, my changes are
> under the "almost public domain" copyright mentioned earlier.
