Re: [rfa] FRV input files


Andrew, can we do this differently?

Something that has been mentioned several times, but I'm not sure is
clear to you, is that these files already exist in src/cgen/cpu/.

Those copies are _not_ exactly the same as the ones you're adding.
In order to make sense of this patch, could you move them to their new
home separately from changing the license or whatever other changes are
incorporated in the patch below?

From the FSF's point of view, this is brand new code and, as such should, from day one be given the correct (C) and correct license. To do otherwize would be confusing.


Think of this as part of a brand new port that you've never seen before. Even though the contributor might have a separate repository containing a very long history of changes, all that is irrelevant to the FSF. From the FSF's point of view, the file is ``born'' the day someone contributes it.

Andrew
