A full copyright & licensing audit of the package has not been
performed by Debian maintainers.  Upstream README says the following
about copyright, licensing and authorship:

  This is a summary of the terms under which you may redistribute the
  various parts of prc-tools.  Of particular interest are the terms
  pertaining to the library functions provided by prc-tools for
  linking with your Palm OS projects, because they may have
  implications on the licensing terms available for your project, if
  it contains (i.e. uses) a provided function or functions to which
  particular terms apply.  (Many of these functions have been
  explicitly placed in the public domain, so carry no such
  implications.)

  For full details, you should of course consult the copyright and
  licensing text in the relevant source files.

  * The patches to the GNU tools in *.palmos.diff and the code in the
    tools subdirectory are free software, and may be redistributed
    and/or modified under the terms of the GNU General Public License,
    either version 2, or (at your option) any later version.  See the
    file COPYING.

  * The run-time support code in the crt subdirectory is in the public
    domain, and the resulting object code may be freely linked into
    your programs.

  * The C library code in the libc subdirectory has assorted licenses,
    as follows:

    various *.c files containing the functions declared in the headers
    ctype.h, stdlib.h, and string.h
	This code is in the public domain, and the resulting object code
	may be freely linked into your programs.

    conio.c
	Released under the LGPL v2 by Jeff Dionne, who described the routines
	provided as follows:  "putchar() and printf() send output to the LCD
	(even does scrolling!).  I would not expect this to be terribly useful
	for anything except debugging, or perhaps a terminal program."

    bcopy.c, vsprintf.c
	The licensing of this portion of the code in the libc subdirectory was
	described as follows by Jeff Dionne in the prc-tools 0.5.0 README:

	Much of this library thanks to Linus Torvalds, from the Linux kernel
	lib directory.  He gave me permission to release this stuff _without_
	GPL encumbrance.

  * The code in the libm subdirectory is based on the Cephes Math
    Library <URL:http://www.moshier.net/#Cephes> and is freely
    redistributable as follows:

    libm.a
	Single precision math library.  The standard kind of stuff
	(like multiply, add etc) will be included with libgcc.a
	when the compiler was built, this stuff is what one expects
	from a complete libm.a.  This library was ported from
	the Cephes Math Library Release 2.2:  June, 1992 and is
	Copyright 1984, 1987, 1988 by Stephen L. Moshier.  Really
	neat stuff!

  The original post-linker tools and Palm OS support patches for gcc
  2.7.2.2, binutils 2.7, and gdb 4.16 were written mainly by D. Jeff
  Dionne, Kresten Krab Thorup, Ian Goldberg, Keith Packard, and
  Kenneth Albanowski, with contributions from many others.

  John Marshall ported the patches to recent versions of GCC and
  binutils.  Peter Trommler ported the gdb patches to 4.17.  Many
  others have contributed suggestions, patches, bug reports, and other
  support; many thanks to
