This is pretty easy to find out: they keep all the GNU |
| 12 |
project stuff separated out in their CVS tree and build |
| 13 |
environment (for both legal and technical efficiency, I |
| 14 |
suspect). |

I know there is an ongoing effort to replace any GPL'd |
| 17 |
userland tools with equivalent BSD licensed ones, but, of |
| 18 |
course, if the best tool for the job is under the GPL |
| 19 |
they're going to keep using it. Of the stuff that's still |
| 20 |
being included, the most items notable GNU projects are: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
binutils/gcc/gdb |
| 23 |
rcs |
| 24 |
texinfo |
| 25 |
groff |
| 26 |
grep |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
They also use several standard, non-GNU GPL'd tools, like |
| 29 |
cvs, man, and patch. |
