You are correct - this is something that is not currently explicitly
defined. The files should be covered by a copyright notice but they do
not need to be under the GPL. So please consider the following to apply
to all linker scripts in the ld/scripttempl/ directory:
Copyright (C) 2012-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
notice and this notice are preserved.
I will be checking a patch shortly to make this change official.
Cheers
Nick
