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?
