Dear Thorsten,

we were able to address the licensing of  src/SerialUsb.cpp and the test
cases upstream. Hopefully this solves the confusion. Would you please take
a look at the 1.15 package that folds these upstream changes:
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/antpm_1.15-1.html ?

Thank you,
Kristof
