Dear Maintainer,

After reading a discussion on the gnu-linux-libre mailing list [1],
I found that the two files named ar9300_devid.h have a license that
restricts modification:

The two files are:
/sys/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar9003/ar9300_devid.h
/sys/contrib/dev/ath/ath_hal/ar9300/ar9300_devid.h

I'm not really sure what should be done about it, though.
