``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
