Andrew has corrected me off-list: new, non-FSF contributions are not
acceptable. I entirely support that position. Is this going to be a
problem for MIPS?
The possible explanation that you provide does not seem credible to me,
but I'm not qualified to discuss it; we can refer any issues to the
FSF's counsel.
[Meanwhile, Eric, when this is settled I intend to approve the code
changes; if you feel like reviewing it after the fact, I'm sure MIPS
will be able to correct any problems.]
