Putting two things into a zip file or tarball together does not suddenly turn one of them into a work derived from the other. The "derived work" refers to the version of gcc derived from the GPL version of gcc. A bunch of scripts delivered alongside that derived work are not part of it; they are not statically linked into gcc at compile time, nor dynamically loaded into it as shared libs, so there can be no question of them being a part of it; they are entirely separate works in their own right. C30 is not "a work that contains gnu CC"; it is a collection of works, only one of which is a work that contains gnu CC in its entirety (with some degree of modifications); the remaining things stand separately. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
