Ah, ok, thanks, that makes sense.  How about a simple pointer to the
license info from the .S files to the README file so that people (like
me), don't get confused again?  I've attached a patch below if you wish
to apply it.

They specifically ask as is their right within the GPL that you note if
you modify the files. Otherwise seems fine.

Hm, any idea on how to note that I modified the file in such a way that
would be acceptable?  How about this?

The language in the source files is pretty strong and this looks like Motorola should be asked to rerelease the files with a normal copyright notice in place of the current language...
