Thank you for a great library.

I would like to leverage ELFIO as a submodule in my project, however, a scan of ELFIO picks up one GPL licensed files tests/elf_examples/ls. I wonder if this is intentional or a mistake?

% strings tests/elf_examples/ls |grep -i gpl License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html.

Hi, files located in test directory are used for the library verification. They are not mandatory part of the library and are used during the library development only. Specifically, ls executable file was added historically and is not required even for the tests. So, I have removed it from the repository in commit eb68829. Thank you
