gopsutil contains some GPL-licensed code

[vadorovsky]

gopsutil is licensed under BSD 3-clause license https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/blob/master/LICENSE

However, its code contains two files which are licensed under GPL and are most probably just copied from some project:

https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/blob/master/host/include/smc.c#L1-L35
https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/blob/master/host/include/smc.h#L1-L35

Can somebody explain how that code was introduced there? I think that we should get rid of it and (if possible) use something released under BSD/MIT/Apache or anything other license with is compatible with BSD.

I discovered that issue when I tried to package https://github.com/google/gops in openSUSE and our infra detected that there is some GPL-licensed code, despite the fact, that the whole project is licensed under more "liberal" licenses.

The only source file which actually uses the GPL-licensed content:

https://github.com/shirou/gopsutil/blob/master/host/host_darwin_cgo.go

I am really apologize about include GPL files. These files are introduced by #344 and I have not notice those are under GPL.

I removed those on c95755e and released v2.18.04. (usually release is end of month, but this problem is emergency)

Thanks a lot!

Looks like these files were actually added in #334, not the issue referenced above.
