Bug#714058: CC65 licensing



Hi everyone.

I'm John Dunning.  I was the guy who produced CC65 for the Atari 800
family of machines many years ago.

I was contacted by Mr. Glaubitz about licensing status of the
software.  I hereby declare my approval for putting CC65 and its
related tools and utilities under GPL-2.

As an aside, I never had any intent of making money off it or it being 
proprietary.  I built it because I was sick of not having tools which
could compile to machine code, which would run on the platform.  CC65
was the only compiler I ever saw for that machine which could compile
itself.  I had a lot of fun with it, before finally giving up the
Ataris and moving on to bigger things.

I'm tickled that it's still in use.  I'd like it to continue to be
freely available and for the community to have fun with it and keep
getting good use out of it.
