Hello!

Currently I have an opportunity to work with CodeSourcery's ARM toolchains in the "full" (paid) version. The thing that caught my eye is the strange license of the header files, that are - of course - newlib files...


stdint.h

and so on... Can they attach sth like that to newlib's files?

Yes, that's permitted under the BSD license.

Correct, but it means their changes can not be applied tosourceware.org's newlib.
