have standard expectations for this free software project and the
expectations are do not include keeping a mental map of the rules of
every email domain that sends messages here so that we can avoid
asking for a patch. I'm with Corinna in wondering how you can use
GPLed software at all if you are so limited.
Now that I'm retired, if I thought there were any point in figuring out
why gcc test suite fails to kill the hung tests, I'd be happy to send
any patch. This comment appears to imply there is no point. Meanwhile,
I go to Windows task manager and kill them manually, so they report XPASS.
My former employer permitted only employees with a job description
including support of open source software to submit patches, even though
we all had to take the annual quiz about GPL etc. That employer has
products which run under cygwin bash (not linked against cygwin1.dll),
some so intended, more of them not.
