To get this thing back on topic, if there are any cases where the GCC
project is including a generated file from some other project and not the
original file, let's just fix that, rather than playing lawyer and arguing
about whether it's OK.  It's a lot simpler, adding three-year offers is
not something we should bother with.


I definitely agree with this, there is no reason not to distribute all
relevant files. The written offer mechanism is unsuitable for a general
open distribution, since it is not clear who would be making the offer,
or whether they can be held to it.
