The last I remember, it was somewhat confused, but hopefully Kumar sees
this and clarifies for us. Of course, if you take old
easy_vector_constant
bits of interest and simply rewrite them for the current code base,
that
completely finesses the problem. (And if there is no other reasonable
way
to express those old bits, then there is no creativity involved and
thus
no copyright to worry about!)
Glad to be of help. We have assigned over the copyright for the
AltiVec changes to gcc 2.95.2, gdb, and binutils over to the FSF. If
you need any clarification check with the FSF clerks.
