Fortunately, people who worked on this and were Compaq employees are reachable, so I contacted Jamie Hicks, who is one of the authors of iPaq ports, regarding solution for this. Jamie, would it be possible to leave Compaq and other copyright notices, and Compaq disclaimer intact, but replace following paragraph: > + * Use consistent with the GNU GPL is permitted, > + * provided that this copyright notice is > + * preserved in its entirety in all copies and derived works.
