[avr-libc-dev] avr-libc license audit

[E. Weddington]

Michael Stumpf,

I've been conducting an audit of the licenses in the files in avr-libc 
<http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/>. avr-libc is supposed to 
be licensed with a modified BSD license that contains a "no endorsement" 
clause. I've discovered a number of files that have incorrect licensing 
and are missing this clause including some files where you hold the 
copyright, specifically I am referring to include/ctype.h and 
include/math.h, NOT the math library.

May I have your permission to modify the licenses of the two files in 
avr-libc listed above where you hold the copyright, to add the missing 
clause reproduced below?

  * Neither the name of the copyright holders nor the names of
    contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived
    from this software without specific prior written permission.

If I have your permission please respond to this email that you give 
your permission and be sure to keep the CC to the avr-libc-dev mailing 
list where it may be archived.

As a seperate issue, would you be willing to relicense the avr-libc math 
library functions written by you to have the Modified BSD License (the 
same as the rest of avr-libc)? This would greatly help in making the 
licensing for all of avr-libc consistent. I also understand if you do 
not wish to do this.

Thank you.
