I see a lot of files here that have Sun Microsystems copyrights. Code
with Sun copyrights can't be part of gcc. We need to be careful about
this. For starters, this should be listed as an upstream package on the
codingconventions.html web page, and we should have a README file saying
that this stuff is not part of gcc, but is included for convenience.
This has been discussed by the steering committee recently, and we
already have sample text for the README file that has been approved by
rms. I have been meaning to follow up on this, but I've been busy with
other stuff. I should get to this soon, at which point I can provide
more info.
Meanwhile, are there other parts of the java support that don't have FSF
copyrights? I am aware of boehm-gc, libffi, and fastjar already.
