These files are VHDL "header" files. They only declares interfaces, but have 
no implementation--the implementation is completely internal to GHDL. 
Nothing in them is actually copyrightable.

That said, it may be better to rewrite these headers so that there is no 
confusion or room for question. This is quite a simple task, so I will look 
into that.
