Joel Sherrill created an issue: https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/issues/5304



## Summary
The Mongoose webserver (mghttpd) in RTEMS is old and pre-dates the change to GPL. The project forked and the permissive licensed code lives on as [Civitweb](https://github.com/civetweb/civetweb). The mghttpd code in RTEMS is from before the split and is unmaintained upstream. 

Civitweb can be built using the RSB. It is an active project.

It is recommended that users migrate to Civitweb.

The mghttd code is deprecated in RTEMS 6 and will be removed before RTEMS 7 branches.

Deprecated in #5303
