I believe you.
However, I am annoyed that there is no mention of this anywhere.
For example, let's suppose I integrate it in either
a proprietary or GPLv3 project : I can't either,
from a legal point of view.

So what I expect is an official, clear and useful
statement from Actel about this code. Put this in
the public domain, or Creative Commons, or BSD,
but please Actel, do something. Or I'll trade
efforts for time and rewrite a DirectC clone myself,
which is not something that I wish.
