I was in core at the time, and it was about that time we started to = cleanup the licenses in general. The two-term COPYRIGHT was changed to reflect the most-favored license in the tree, and the one that we wanted people to start using. Around the same time, there were a number of other = license changes after individual authors were contacted about removing the other clauses. It had less to do with the trademark issues, though that was = also added to the COPYRIGHT file around the same time. It was about this time that GPL=E2=80=99d programs started disappearing = from the tree as well. It has been a long progress, but we=E2=80=99re finally = getting close to kicking out gcc, binutils and maybe gdb, while still maintaining a = full, integrated build either with the new clang or an external toolchain = (though the latter still needs a few more pieces to fall into place).
