regarding the Solaris trap

[Ulrich Drepper <drepper at redhat dot com>]

Some people might have heard about Sun's release of the Solaris sources
under their dubious license.  This license is obviously intended to be
incompatible with the GPL.  Therefore:

Nobody who intends to contribute to glibc must look at anything but the
public header files of the Solaris libc and related libraries.

If you did or intend to do, don't send any patches.  Reporting bugs is
OK, but do not go into any details regarding the implementation they
use.  We will be extra careful to require assignments for any
significant piece of work.  If you assign code and embed into
contributed code any knowledge of that implementation, you are
invalidating the assignment.  It is especially important that everybody
with blanket assignments in place follows this.

It's a trap, don't fall into it.
