GPL vs GFDL in generated files


``I am not a lawyer''.

A longer term GDB plan is to use a common source for things like gdbarch.[ch] (architecture vector source code) and gdbin.texinfo (architecture vector documentation). GCC are now talking about doing something similar. One issue that came up during their discussions was the question of the GPL and GFDL being ``compatible'' - can a common file be used to generate both. Phrases such as dual licence were being used ....

My understanding is that the issue was considered serious enough for the GCC steering committee to take on and resolve.

enjoy,
Andrew
