It's probably Jim Ingham's change but we won't know unless Apple tell us. AFAIK Apple have made a general copyright assignment of all their work on GDB to FSF. When I used Apple's changes (2007-02-03) I just prefixed my ChangeLog entry with: Based on work by Apple Computer, Inc. > If you're still doing work in this area and the patch that got checked > in interferes with that, we can simply revert or modify it as appropriate. It's fine with me. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
