Thanks for noticing. I'd like to strongly encourage contributors to the list to avoid replying to e-mail which contain these disclaimers. They give the administrators of gcc.gnu.org a legal liability, since we do not follow the directions in the disclaimer. It's true that we would almost certainly win a court case. But it's also true that actually defending a court case would be an enormous hassle and would require finding donations to cover the legal costs. As one of the administrators of gcc.gnu.org, I would be personally affected. Thanks. Ian
