Since the link is now dead, I'll add some background information. The hyperbola
project is "a hard fork of the OpenBSD kernel and userspace including new code
written under GPLv3 and LGPLv3 to replace GPL-incompatible parts and non-free
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 Release 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 interest
for us at this time.
