Initially, I have created the file by copying out pieces of PDF
documentation but the latest version of the file (describing final
HSAIL 1.0) is actually taken from the HSAIL (dis)assembler developed
by HSA foundation and released by "University of Illinois/NCSA Open
Source License."
The license is "GPL-compatible" according to FSF
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses)
so I believe that means we can put it inside GCC and I hope I also do
not need any special steering committee approval or whatnot. At the
same time, the license comes with three restrictions that I hope I
have fulfilled by keeping them in the header comment. Nevertheless,
if anybody knowledgeable can tell me what is the known right thing to
do (or to confirm this is indeed the right thing to do), I'll be very
happy.
