GCC files with GPL license in glibc

[Ulrich Weigand]

Hello,

we've noticed that the glibc source tree contains two files copied from
GCC,
which are licensed under the GPL (i.e. not LGPL and not GPL + special
exception) according to the file header.

Within the GCC source tree, these files have now been converted to GPL +
exception to avoid problems for non-GPL applications linking against
libgcc.  (It is my understanding that the intention had been to use GPL
+ exception from the start, and the pure GPL was simply an oversight.)

Should this license change/clarification be applied to the glibc copies
as well?

The files in question:
  sysdeps/generic/unwind-dw2.c
  sysdeps/generic/unwind-pe.h


Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Best Regards

Ulrich Weigand
