Potential Licensing Problem in binutils-2.29/gas/config/tc-alpha.c

Hi all,

 

I think there is a potential licensing problem in the file binutils-2.29/gas/config/tc-alpha.c

 

The license information in the beginning of the files says that this file is licensed under GPL-3.0+ ; below this information the CMU License is listed. This suggests that the file itself stays under GPL-3.0 and CMU.

The CMU has among others wording that reads:

 

Carnegie Mellon requests users of this software to return to

 

??? Software Distribution Coordinator? or? address@hidden

??? School of Computer Science

??? Carnegie Mellon University

??? Pittsburgh PA 15213-3890

? any improvements or extensions that they make and grant Carnegie the

?? rights to redistribute these changes.? */

 

so it is requested that all modifications are sent back to the CMU. Such a requirement is not formulated in the GPL-3.0 and the GPL-3.0 says in section

 

Mit freundlichen Gr??en
