Hi,
I have no foreseeable plans to contribute more. So far my contributions
have always been totally small and trivial (basically, making the GNU
toolchain component build and their corresponding test suite work
internally in Amadeus).
I haven't understood all the details, but discussions between layers
from FSF and Amadeus did happen earlier this year, and no so far we
haven't signed anything. However I was told from the Amadeus layers that
it's not over for contributions, we can have case by case specific
agreement that would suit both Amadeus and the FSF. Do you consider this
patch goes beyond the notion of "trivial" and requires me to start the
procedure on my side to get everything legally set up correctly ?
Cheers,
Romain
