Currently I have not assigned the copyrigths, but this is clearly my
intentions. But to be honest, there isn't much going on in pl1 the compiler
yet. It is basically just a scanner and parser that gets invoked from gcc.
There is still a very long way to have a workable compiler, let alone, having
it ready for inclussion in the gcc main tree. I would get the assignment of
copyrights going, only when I actually had something working to show.
But does it matter for the name of the front-end, whether or not the copyright
has been assigned ?

Good point. I will keep it as pl1.
