Re: [Ltib] CodeSourcery 2010.09-55 toolchain update

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Matt,

The problem is that if that rpm contains proprietary components who's 
license does not permit redistribution, it would not be possible to host 
this (legally) on the GPP without permission of CodeSourcery.

If they gave permission then it would be okay to host it on the GPP.

Regards, Stuart
