I think there is no change in licensing terms after Microchip
acquisition.
It would be easier if we could blindly copy the Atmel generated
headers and overwrite avr-libc headers. But there are compatibility
issues to replace avr-libc headers. We may need to figure out a way
to resolve this before start committing the generated headers.
It is also worth nothing that avr-gcc moving away from hard-coding
device specific details.
