[Bug other/44032] New: internals documentation is not legally safe to use

[amylaar at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Because the internals documentation is distributed under the GFDL, it is not
safe to cut&paste examples or instructions from the documentation when writing
new code in GCC, since that code needs to be released under the GPL.
Documentation that pertains to the modification of a program must come with
a compatible license in order to be usable in a safe manner.
