parisc-linux,

In my quest to stop the painful maintenance of custom parisc patches I'm going to begin pushing all the gdb changes upstream :)

I have split the current patch into a series of friendly patches and will, after I figure out copyright, send them upstream.

Who wrote our initial gdb implementation?

Taggart said it was dhd and amodra mostly.
I think he is right.
IIRC, Most, if not all, of the work was funded by HP under contract with Linuxcare in fall 2000 and spring 2001.

I'd agree with that. At one time I worked on kernel support for it, while amodra worked on gdb itself. We were both working for Linuxcare, under contract to HP at the time.

That's good then, since the chain of copyright now goes like this:

	Linuxcare -> HP -> FSF

It's rogue hackers without copyright assignment that do more than trivial patches that worry me... not naming any names *cough* tausq *cough* Though that person now has all the papers in place ;)
