Making a list of GPLv2 files would be a start, though.

grep -r version *.c comes up with these:

Your rune needs tweaking -- it isn't looking inside any
subdirectories.

Including binutils code is just a bad idea. I know noone wants to hear that but it's unfortunately true.

The FSF does copyright assignment which means it's easy for them to relicense. Since we don't do copyright assignment, it's much, much harder for us to relicense. We'd waste huge amounts of man hours trying to chase binutils license.

We need to stick with the v2 version of binutils and perhaps work toward an alternative in the future. Relicensing is just not practical.
