[Bug other/28002] New: decNumber sources need GPL+exception for use in libgcc

Reply-to: gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org

The decNumber sources files in libdecnumber were contributed by IBM and are
currently covered by the GPL.  When GCC is configured with
--enable-decimal-float, some of these functions are included in the static
version of libgcc.  The license needs to change from GPL to GPL plus exception.

I've assigned this to myself as a reminder to contact the appropriate people
within IBM and then the FSF.
