I should say that, with reference to the NetBSD changes I mentioned earlier, and John Baldwin's comments about having a GPLv3 toolchain option in our own tree, that despite NetBSD's cautious policy statement regarding GPLv3-licensed software in their base system, and their requirement that such software should be optional, it appears that use of such software is now their _default_ since Nov. 2009: http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk.diff?r1=1.593&r2=1.594&only_with_tag=MAIN&f=h b.Received on Fri Jun 04 2010 - 10:49:55 UTC
