[hpsdr] Cyclone II with Nios core for SDR - Correction

[Murray Lang]

I got an email from Jean Labrosse himself to say:

    "You can use uC/OS-II for free for non commercial use."

My scheduled download of the Nios II Embedded Design Suite last night 
broke, so I don't know yet whether that download version includes 
uC/OS-II. I'll try again tonight...and ask Altera to put it back in the 
Nios II EDS that comes with the Cyclone II Starter Kit.
