can't change permissions on /usr/lib folder [duplicate]

I upgraded to OS X El Capitan and tried to install a new app (MPLAB X from Microchip) but I got an error because it couldn't copy a library to /usr/lib even when it asked for root password. I tried to manually copying the library using sudo cp libSEGGERAccessLink.dylib /usr/lib but it says cp: /usr/lib/libSEGGERAccessLink.dylib: Operation not permitted.

Is this a permission issue? How can I write to /usr/lib? ls -ld /usr/lib returns:

drwxr-xr-x  263 root  wheel  8942 Oct  2 15:49 /usr/lib

It is a new feature of OS X 10.11 (El Capitan): SIP.

Among the protected locations are: /System, /bin, /sbin and /usr (but not /usr/local).

It can be disabled: Stack Exchange thread

In summary, from the Recovery partition, open Terminal.app and run: csrutil disable

Update: SIP has been expanded in High Sierra (macOS 10.13)
