Upstream README says the following about copyright, licensing and authorship: This is a summary of the terms under which you may redistribute the various parts of prc-tools. Of particular interest are the terms pertaining to the library functions provided by prc-tools for linking with your Palm OS projects, because they may have implications on the licensing terms available for your project, if it contains (i.e. uses) a provided function or functions to which particular terms apply. (Many of these functions have been explicitly placed in the public domain, so carry no such implications.) For full details, you should of course consult the copyright and licensing text in the relevant source files. * The patches to the GNU tools in *.palmos.diff and the code in the tools subdirectory are free software, and may be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU General Public License, either version 2, or (at your option) any later version. See the file COPYING. * The run-time support code in the crt subdirectory is in the public domain, and the resulting object code may be freely linked into your programs. * The C library code in the libc subdirectory has assorted licenses, as follows: various *.c files containing the functions declared in the headers ctype.h, stdlib.h, and string.h This code is in the public domain, and the resulting object code may be freely linked into your programs. conio.c Released under the LGPL v2 by Jeff Dionne, who described the routines provided as follows: "putchar() and printf() send output to the LCD (even does scrolling!). I would not expect this to be terribly useful for anything except debugging, or perhaps a terminal program." bcopy.c, vsprintf.c The licensing of this portion of the code in the libc subdirectory was described as follows by Jeff Dionne in the prc-tools 0.5.0 README: Much of this library thanks to Linus Torvalds, from the Linux kernel lib directory. He gave me permission to release this stuff _without_ GPL encumbrance. * The code in the libm subdirectory is based on the Cephes Math Library and is freely redistributable as follows: libm.a Single precision math library. The standard kind of stuff (like multiply, add etc) will be included with libgcc.a when the compiler was built, this stuff is what one expects from a complete libm.a. This library was ported from the Cephes Math Library Release 2.2: June, 1992 and is Copyright 1984, 1987, 1988 by Stephen L. Moshier. Really neat stuff! [From the prc-tools 0.5.0 README, by Jeff Dionne] [...] The original post-linker tools and Palm OS support patches for gcc 2.7.2.2, binutils 2.7, and gdb 4.16 were written mainly by D. Jeff Dionne, Kresten Krab Thorup, Ian Goldberg, Keith Packard, and Kenneth Albanowski, with contributions from many others. John Marshall ported the patches to recent versions of GCC and binutils. Peter Trommler ported the gdb patches to 4.17. Many others have contributed suggestions, patches, bug reports, and other support; many thanks to Kenneth Albanowski, Marc Balmer, Simon Burge, Jesse Donaldson, Tom Dyas, Mark W.
