Could a gatekeeper review this change when they have the chance?

Thanks,

Doug

I updated the patch attached to the bug report to reflect Jian-Xin's commit:

https://bugs.open64.net/show_bug.cgi?id=628

Is it OK if I commit this patch?

Is it OK? Thank you very much.

That file is introduced by me and it's derived from another SGI source file. 
But at that time I don't pay attention to the license issue. I will submit a 
patch to switch the license back to GPLv2.
2010/12/2 Gilmore, Doug <doug.gilm...@amd.com<mailto:doug.gilm...@amd.com>>
The old license on intrn_entry.def was BSD, which with my patch is
would be changed to GPLv2.  Both are compatible with Open64.

My point of the change is that intrn_entry.def could be considered to
be a derived work, and if so, the copyright notices and license should
reflect that of the previous work.  Note the license on the previous
work was GPLv2.

I don't think there are any licensing issues with the patch that
implements the fix.  The issue is whether intrn_entry.def is a derived
work or not.  If people are comfortable in saying that it was not a
derived work, which gave us the freedom at the time of commit r1764 to
set the license on to intrn_entry.def to BSD, then no change of
license is needed.

I attached the patch associated with commit r1764.  Keep in mind
that the patch is against the tree branches/merge08, where
the PSC 3.2 (and others) merge was done.

I added another patch to the bug report with no license change, but
I did add a copyright notice for the change that I just added.

If people think that my interpretation of copyright law is too
strict then we can go ahead and apply that patch instead.
