The start of cxa4010.a (as held in the GCC SVN repo) starts

--                             Grant of Unlimited Rights
--
--     Under contracts F33600-87-D-0337, F33600-84-D-0280, MDA903-79-C-0687,
--     F08630-91-C-0015, and DCA100-97-D-0025, the U.S. Government obtained 
--     unlimited rights in the software and documentation contained herein.
--     Unlimited rights are defined in DFAR 252.227-7013(a)(19).  By making 
--     this public release, the Government intends to confer upon all 
--     recipients unlimited rights  equal to those held by the Government.  
--     These rights include rights to use, duplicate, release or disclose the 
--     released technical data and computer software in whole or in part, in 
--     any manner and for any purpose whatsoever, and to have or permit others 
--     to do so.

which sounds pretty permissive to me! We are now used to seeing a file
COPYING or similar, of course.
