I did not #:hide anything. The error is reported when (or after?) a
call to “make” loads guix/scripts/pack.scm (which I have not changed)
after putting the packages and required modules into libusb.scm
instead of usb-modeswitch.scm.

I add the license file.

Since nobody is likely to use the USB_ModeSwitch dispatcher.c without
USB_ModeSwitch, I tend to leave it at gpl2+.

I will try substitute*ing the dispatcher script to use /gnu/store
until it just works.

I will send an updated patch tomorrow with a working ”dispatcher“
