Request for permission to include extract of web-page in newsletter

[Dirk Craeynest]

Hi,

I am the news editor of the Ada User Journal, a quarterly publication
jointly produced by the non-profit organizations Ada-Europe and
Ada-UK.

In our next issue, I would like to include an extract from the web
page http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html under the title
    "GNAT Sources Contributed to GCC CVS Repository".

The text I would like to include is:

URL: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html
Subject: GCC Home Page - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)

[...]

In April 1999, the egcs steering committee was appointed by the FSF as
the official GNU maintainer for GCC. At that time GCC was renamed from
the "GNU C Compiler" to the "GNU Compiler Collection" and received a
new mission statement.

Currently GCC contains front ends for C, C++, Objective C, Chill,
Fortran, and Java as well as libraries for these languages (libstdc++,
libgcj,...). The next major release, GCC 3.1, will also include an Ada
front end.

We want to work closely with developers to help and encourage them to
contribute changes for inclusion in GCC. We thus provide access to our
development sources with weekly snapshots and anonymous CVS.

We will provide regular, high quality releases. We want those releases
to work well on a variety of native (including GNU/Linux) and cross
targets and use an extensive test suite as well as various benchmark
suites and automated testers to maintain and improve quality. GCC
3.0.2 is the current release.
