We already have the LICENSES file listing the non-FSF copyright and license notices from the source files. We could add a list of copyright holders covered by "The GNU Toolchain Authors" there if desired (but that would mean an additional patch review step for DCO patches - make sure that the patch contributor, employer or other copyright owner is added to that file if not already present and the patch is legally significant). -- Joseph S.
