It would be indeed nice, but it is probably a too obvious solution. I think a change in the licence is against the gcc policy for stage 4: it is neither a regression (no pr open stating it) nor a documentation fix. Those who did not accept GPL3 have left the gcc development and the others have worked with it since then. Dominique
