[RFA/commit] Moving to GPLv3 ... (part 0/???)


Hello,

I finally took the time to start changing the headers in our source
files to use GPL version 3 instead of version 2. I did this for files
that are under FSF copyright only.

Rather than submitting a gigantic patch that changes all the files,
I decided to use a more piecemeal approach. Each batch will take care
of .c files, then .h, then .ad[sb], then .exp, etc.

99.9% of the conversion has been performed automatically, with some
rare formatting adjustments made manually. It looks all good to me,
but I would very much appreciate if you could scan the patches I am
about to send. There are so many files changed that it's easy to miss.

All these patches have been tested on native x86-linux by rebuilding
GDB from scratch, and then running the testsuite.

I'll be traveling all of next week, but I would still like to have
these checked in by then. I should be able to find some time for
the commits.

Let me know if I missed any file!

BTW: In the process of doing this change, I noticed that a lot of
files do not contain the copyright blurb. Perhaps we should think
about fixing this in the near/medium future - I will post the
associated list of files.

Thanks,

Joel
