Since the link is now dead, I'll add some background information. The hyper=
bola
project is "a hard fork of the OpenBSD kernel and userspace including new c=
ode
written under GPLv3 and LGPLv3 to replace GPL-incompatible parts and non-fr=
ee
ones"

They send a report to libertyBSD (another OpenBSD fork), where they claimed:

The following files do not allow distribution. This was fixed in newer
versions, including SoftFloat 3.

"The restrictions on legal use have been clarified (not applicable to Relea=
se 3
or later)." http://www.jhauser.us/arithmetic/SoftFloat.html

lib/libkern/milieu.h
lib/libkern/softfloat.c
lib/libkern/softfloat.h
lib/libkern/softfloat-macros.h
lib/libkern/softfloat-specialize.h

They also mention a bunch of files without license that are of little inter=
est
for us at this time.
