! 3: Some of the software in this subtree follows special rules.
! 4:
! 5: Specifically, the FSF not only wants the GPL licence, but they
! 6: also insist that you assign your copyright to the FSF for anything
! 7: but trivial changes.
! 8:
! 9: So:
! 10: - check the history of external code before importing it.
! 11: - be ready to arrange for copyright papers somewhat in advance if
! 12: you want to work on it (the FSF takes a few months to process these).

! 14: Otherwise, changes might not make it to the main distribution, and may
! 15: need some further maintenance over time, or risk getting lost.
! 16:
! 17: Some internal changes are acceptable, but OpenBSD can't afford to maintain
! 18: a complete separate toolchain on its own.
