That file is ancient (I reckon it's at least two decades old) and
looks like a wholesale include of a DEC/Digital .h file for that
particular chip. Since we didn't have DCOs or anything like that
back then, I am unsure what the license (if any) actually is.
It's even difficult to figure out when (and by who) it was first
committed. The oldest reference in a grafted-together git repo I
could find was from 2.1.88.
Best,
Tobias
