openMerging Minipro code for TL866xx programmers

Description
David Hendricks (@David Hendricks) expressed interest in adding support in that particular issue.
I think that the programmer is quite somewhat different than most programmers supported in flashrom, since the programmer itself has a database of supported flash chips and abstracts more behind hardware. Which would mean that /include/flashchips.h isn't usable in this programmer.
There is a working open source implementation of flashing software named minipro[1], but sparsely packaged (Fedora and CentOS, only proposed in Debian) and only supports a single programmer, instead of flashrom which is more versatile. The code of minipro is GPLv3 and flashrom is GPLv2, which are incompatible licenses. Re-implementing the entire code would make implementing a lot more work. Any suggestions how to proceed here?
