Follow-up Comment #9, patch #6951 (project avr-libc): As someone interested in using the patch in a project I took it upon me to check the copyright of the NEWLIB files.
Unfortunately the situation isn't clear. The time files I checked in NEWLIB all had a simple statement like "Original Author: G. Haley" in the code. E.g. http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/newlib/libc/time/gmtime.c?annotate=1.4&cvsroot=src I didn't check all libc/time files. NEWLIB itself points to http://sourceware.org/newlib/COPYING.NEWLIB for license details. But that file doesn't contain any reference to a "G. Haley". Googleing produces a document about NEWLIB http://www.gnuarm.com/pdf/libc.pdf where a certain Graham Haley is mentioned: "'libc' includes software developed by Martin Jackson, Graham Haley and Steve Chamberlain of Tadpole Technology and released to Cygnus." But COPYING.NEWLIB doesn't mention Tadpole or Cygnus. I have no idea what "released to" means. For me that code is to hot to touch. I guess I have to write my own time functions. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?6951> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ _______________________________________________ AVR-libc-dev mailing list AVR-libc-dev@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/avr-libc-dev
