Re: Applying CRX port to Newlib project
Hello Tomer. I met the similar problem when I contributed to Newlib.
In Newlib itself there are code with unknown licenes - I don't know why
Jeff doesn't fix this. But for *new* contributions, Jeff is pedantic.
So, don't see those files :-)
Thus, if you don't care much about license and just want to contribute,
use files the header like I did:

As I understand this is perfect for Newlib.
If you don't want such license, discuss with Jeff.
The example of the recently contributed code (if you want to see
copyrights/licenses) is newlib/libc/iconv/
