I've only been active here a few weeks but I've grown used to the "go ahead and do it" I know I'm about to get... Why not call it src/lib/libiberty and create a fully compatable version which is truly free? Quickly glancing through binutils-2.9's libiberty directory on gnudist.gnu.org (this is the cannonical version as near as I can tell) most of it is implemented in libc and quite a few files are PD. How would those functions which also exist in libc (or possibly other libraries, I don't know) be handled?
