Hi Laurent,
The license wording will soon be changed and Ada gcc/ada/scn.adb
(function Determine_License) currently checks about licence.
Any change to the wording breaks Ada bootstrap as Jakub found out.
How should we proceed?
I have already changed the patch under development so that the text in
the ada files now reads:
As a special exception under Section 7 of GPL version 3, you
are granted additional permissions described in the GCC Runtime
Library Exception, version 3.1, as published by the Free Software
Foundation.
This includes the magic words "As a special exception" which should
satisfy the license scanner.
Cheers
Nick
