Regardless if such a work should be included in distributions of GNU make or if it should be included in projects using it (which I think is a better idea than to have it as a prerequisite), I think that it would be a good idea to add some copyright statements to the files and some licensing terms (preferably some standard open source license like MIT, som BSD variant or maybe GPL or AGPL. If a less permissive license like *GPL is choosen, it might be worth clarifying the intention. Would it require the built software to have a *GPL compatible license? Or would it like gcc and GNU make allow building proprietary software? regards Henrik
