This is a FAQ. Have you even tried looking yourself? Google search for
hptools linux hp48 gives a link to JY Avenard's home page:
http://www.epita.fr/~avenar_j/hp/39.html
You might also want to read section 8.8 in the FAQ.

have you tried hpcalc.org ? I think there you'll find Hptools under GNU/GPL
conditions.

The Hptools doesn't follow a GNU/GPL license.
It's an opensource project, but doesn't allow the person who modified the
source code to re-distribute it.
It is similar to the license used by Alg48, Jazz or Erable.

You could try using kasm (http://k-asm.sourceforge.net ), which is a
compiler/assembler for the HP48/HP49 supporting MASD's syntax.

Hello

Yes, but this are not the "HPTOOLS" v3.x which are not based at all on the
version 2.1 by Mario.
This "GNU" version has been made by disassembling a version 1.0 which
contained the debugging information (compiled with the -g option). Then it's
been slightly improved.

As HP forbids reverse engineering of their software, it was kind of "tricky"
publishing the almost same program (based on the same source) in GPL
