The wording has been changed slightly in places so they talk in more
general terms and they talk about executables rather than "works" (which
IMHO implies that RTEMS libraries are not covered i.e. they are GPL'ed),
but I still would consider this to be a derivative of the eCos license
version 2.
Well, they could hardly distribute RTEMS under the eCos License could
they? ;-)
Sorry to disappoint :), but this type of exception text was taken from
GCC, not us, e.g.:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/libstdc%2b%2b-v3/libsupc%2b%2b/del_op.cc?rev=1.3&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
They've modified it in a similar way to us, that's all.
