[M3devel] parse.c licensing question, dual?

[Jay K]

Tony changed the license from DEC to FSF here (possibly someone else did in another branch)

<a href="https://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-sys/m3cc/gcc/gcc/m3cg/parse.c.diff?r1=1.12;r2=1.13" target="_blank" class="newlyinsertedlink">https://modula3.elegosoft.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/cm3/m3-sys/m3cc/gcc/gcc/m3cg/parse.c.diff?r1=1.12;r2=1.13</a>


There is this growth:

jair:~ jay$ wc -l parse.c.current 
    6516 parse.c.current

jair:~ jay$ wc -l parse.c.old 
    4190 parse.c.old

though derivation is still hard to argue with.
