Can we (legally) merge Apple's Objective-C / Objective-C++
modifications to GCC into FSF GCC trunk ?
Any legal obstacles ?
I assume Apple had signed a copyright assignment to the FSF for all
changes to GCC, moreover I checked
the modified GCC source code that Apple distributes and all the
copyright notices on all files mention the
"Free Software Foundation Inc." as the copyright holder.
I guess that means the changes have already been assigned to the FSF
and we're free to merge ? :-)
Thanks
