Thanks, Dave. We will work on the legal papers with FSF. -- Gaby ________________________________ From: David Malcolm <dmalc...@redhat.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2020 2:10:59 PM To: Modi Mo <mod...@microsoft.com>; l...@redhat.com <l...@redhat.com>; Nicholas Krause <xerofo...@gmail.com>; Eric Gallager <eg...@gwmail.gwu.edu>; Pedro Alves <pe...@palves.net> Cc: Gabriel Dos Reis <g...@microsoft.com>; Andrew Dean <andrew.d...@microsoft.com>; gcc@gcc.gnu.org <gcc@gcc.gnu.org>; r...@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de <r...@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de>; mikest...@comcast.net <mikest...@comcast.net>; ja...@redhat.com <ja...@redhat.com>; Jonathan Wakely <c...@kayari.org>; Richard Biener <richard.guent...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: GCC selftest improvements

Thanks Modi. Before looking at the updated patch in detail, we ought to also address the legal prerequisites for contributing. Does your employer have legal paperwork in place with the FSF for such contributions? See: https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgcc.gnu.org%2Fcontribute.html%23legal&data=02%7C01%7Cgdr%40microsoft.com%7C78624c908d354c815f9d08d7ba3fa1f6%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637182654788877774&sdata=8GiCH%2FijVByqeO6e9qdRw3C09o0Suh62Gf8kq2HYe%2B4%3D&reserved=0 I'm not sure what the threshold is for a contribution to be regarded as "significant", but it seems that we ought to be fastidious here, given historical attitudes between Microsoft and the FLOSS community. (I'm not speaking on behalf of anyone other than myself here, as a GCC maintainer, and I don't mean for this to come across as personal) Thanks Dave
