We don't want to ask RMS every time we want to do this. RMS has opined on some of the specific cases, such as generating documentation for command-line options from comments in the code. He hasn't specifically said whether he thinks it's a GPL/GFDL violation -- but nothing in what he's said would suggest to me that he thinks it's not a violation. In fact, the statement that we can only run such generation scripts in the FSF repository, since only the FSF can relicense the code, would seem to suggest that he believes that, in general, you can't do this. In any case, you're suggesting we go against the express wishes of the FSF. Would you suggest that we do that in the context of FSF GCC? -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
