Bug#816870: hplip: contains non-free code
Package: src:hplip
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Control: forwarded -1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1553628
In prnt/hpcups, the headers of ErnieFilter.cpp and .h say:
// This software is licensed solely for use with HP products. Redistribution
// and use with HP products in source and binary forms, with or without
// modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met:
As such, the code is non-free because I cannot safely redistribute it. Could that be changed to a normal 3-clause BSD license like the other files?
