It later says:

"
This software contains technology licensed from third parties; use with
 non-HP products is at your own risk and may require a royalty."

So I believe that this is a bit confused license wise, as I have only
been given the permission for HP products anyway.

Title:
  Non-free code in ErnieFilter (license only grants rights for use with
  HP products)

Status in HPLIP:
  New
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in hplip package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The headers of ErnieFilter.cpp and .h say:

  //    This software is licensed solely for use with HP products.  
Redistribution
  //    and use with HP products in source and binary forms, with or without
  //    modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are 
met:

  
  As such, the code is non-free because I cannot safely redistribute it. Could 
that be changed to a normal 3-clause BSD license like the other files?
