I am prepared to do the work, but does anyone have any objections or concerns ? If I can get agreement to the change then I will go ahead with it as soon as possible. One notable consequence of contributing the sources is that the source license would change from GPL version 2 to GPL version 3, in line with current FSF policy. Another consequence would be that we could remove one of the cpu/ directories (either /cpu or /cgen/cpu, I am not sure which would be better). What do people think - is this a good idea ? Cheers Nick PS. The impetus for this change has come from the FSF initiative to change all of their projects sources over to the GPLv3 (or LGPLv3). This includes both the binutils and GDB projects, so it would be consistent if the cgen sources were changed over as well. (They do not have to be, of course). So, if the cgen sources are going to be changed to GPLv3 then why not contribute them at the same time ?
