Re: cp/inc licensing


After looking at the situation, I think we should use these
terms on libgcc*.c.

 In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the
 Free Software Foundation gives you unlimited permission to link the
 compiled version of this file into combinations with other programs,
 and to distribute those combinations without any restriction coming
 from the use of this file.  (The General Public License restrictions
 do apply in other respects; for example, they cover modification of
 the file, and distribution when not linked into a combine
 executable.)

This combines the two paragraphs and should replace them both; it
should be used not only in libgcc1.c but the other libgcc*.c files.

I do not think we should go this far with the template files, though.
For them, I think the exception should properly be somewhat more
limited; it should preserve the present restriction to programs
compiled with GCC.
