Yes, and why is this an issue?

The include is part of the SPL/CMSIS library directory, and the mechanics of it are that it #include's a Project centric ''stm32f10x_conf.h'' when USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER is defined. There is no reason a user would need to modify stm32f10x.h

This dispute, is not a problem, I'm sorry.

I just think only here can I find a reasoned response

There are people using in your code stm32f10x.h and argue that they do not use SPL. Accordingly, trying to prove that stm32f10x.h - part of the SPL and they are wrong.

It's on the CMSIS branch

STM32F10x_StdPeriph_Lib_V3.5.0\Libraries\CMSIS\CM3\DeviceSupport\ST\STM32F10x\stm32f10x.h

There is nothing to preclude you from using it in a free standing form, independent of the main library code. It defines the peripherals, and you don't need to define USE_STDPERIPH_DRIVER

It seems like a rather pointless argument.

I wouldn't call it part of any ''library''. It's the basic header defining the peripherals registers and memory areas. It is required by ARM to be provided by their licencees as part of CMSIS.

As a matter of fact, it is - quote naturally - included in the ''standard peripheral library'', as well as the ''cube library'', ''snippets:'', and all other STM32 examples provided by ST. It does not make it ''part'' of these packages.

There is at least one practical consequence, namely that the licence for this file is different than of the packages mentioned. IANAL.
