Could you provide some details on this? My impression is that gdb is GPL,
and as soon as I agree on this, we're ready to go?
Not that I think GPL is perfect, but that's a different discussion. I'm
using the gdb, so it's only fair to provide any modifications under the
same licence. Thus, no problem for me.
It's not a major patch - it's currently more a hack, but as said, I do
not have enough insight into the design of gdb to improve it without
further help.
So long,
Thomas
