Why do you think that?  It appears to me that it was under

which is a copyleft (with invariant sections) that is neither GPL nor
GFDL, and so incompatible with both.

Oops, you are right.  The Permission for the documentation switched to GFDL
in the next revision, but it did not switch from GPL, but from this unusable
license.  I saw GPL and thought that was the version I was looking for.
I shouldn't try to do GCC archeology after being up that long :-(

Actually, according to svn, the .texi files and ChangeLogs sprang into being
in 1997 when the egcs project started.  Is there a copy of the RCS/CVS
repository around?
