In general I think it's appropriate for sfp-machine.h files to use the
soft-fp license (LGPLv2.1+ with exception; soft-fp code is shared by
glibc, libgcc and potentially the Linux kernel although the copy there
hasn't been merged from glibc for years), although in this case for some
reason the AArch64 file in libgcc is substantially different from that in
glibc.
