            Bug ID: 16901
           Summary: Two files have non-free licenses (modification is not
                    explicitly allowed)
           Product: gdb
           Version: unknown
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: gdb

          Reporter: BM-2cVqnDuYbAU5do2DfJTrN7ZbAJ246S4Xix at bitmessage dot ch

The files /include/coff/sym.h and /include/coff/symconst.h are accompanied by a
license that does not explicitly allow modification. This violates Freedom 1
(right to modify), Freedom 3 (right to distribute modified copies) and DFSG3
(right to modify).

So that gdb is not accomanied by non-free software, either the files need to be
removed or the copyright holders need to be contacted to ask for permission to
modify the files. The license text is below:
