If it's merely a matter of documentation, that'd be great. > fwiw.. binaries even under a redistributable licenses are an absolute > last option and end being a bug report with attached proposal on exactly > what needs to be done for replacement.. For some, that's true; for others, not so true. I don't disagree with what you're doing, but it's worth pointing out that others are headed in other directions, and that licensing issues are not necessarily absolutes. > I'm not sure it will help this specific circumstance, but it seems that > apache stdcxx is a possible replacement for SUNWlibC..
