That's a problem. It makes hwclock hard to include in embedded systems
due to the GPLv3 restrictions.

I noticed that it comes due to sys-utils/hwclock-parse-date.y, which
was taken from gnulib. Would it be possible to take the file from an
previous version of gnulib that was still under GPLv2?

An alternative approach would be porting a similar code using a more
liberal license, e.g. BSD.

What do you think?
