Hi all,

I think there is a potential licensing problem in the file 
binutils-2.29/gas/config/tc-alpha.c

The license information in the beginning of the files says that this file is 
licensed under GPL-3.0+ ; below this information the CMU License is listed. 
This suggests that the file itself stays under GPL-3.0 and CMU.
The CMU has among others wording that reads:

Carnegie Mellon requests users of this software to return to

??? Software Distribution Coordinator? or? software.distribut...@cs.cmu.edu
??? School of Computer Science
??? Carnegie Mellon University
??? Pittsburgh PA 15213-3890
? any improvements or extensions that they make and grant Carnegie the
?? rights to redistribute these changes.? */

so it is requested that all modifications are sent back to the CMU. Such a 
requirement is not formulated in the GPL-3.0 and the GPL-3.0 says in section

Mit freundlichen Gr??en
