Technically, yes. But how useful is a compiler with no documentation? The point is that pulling everything out that's GFDL isn't really a good option; it damages the project for zero gain. This is especially true in the long term, as projects follow the FSF's lead and start releasing GFDL docs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
