Updated by GNUtoo about 5 years ago

Many of the files in /usr/share/sdcc/non-free/ have something like that:

 * For pic device libraries and header files which are derived from
 * Microchip header (.inc) and linker script (.lkr) files Microchip
 * requires that "The header files should state that they are only to be
 * used with authentic Microchip devices" which makes them incompatible
 * with the GPL. Pic device libraries and header files are located at
 * non-free/lib and non-free/include directories respectively.
 * Sdcc should be run with the --use-non-free command line option in
 * order to include non-free header files and libraries.
 *
 * See http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/ for the latest information on sdcc.
