| Mon Jan 6 20:10:33 2014, comment #5: I'm personally not invested either way since this particular bug fix is short enough to not be subject to copyright anyway (it falls under fair use exceptions), so you could just create your own patch file with that change in it (the one additional line to remake.c) without asking permission at all and that's perfectly fine.
However just to note, a patch is clearly a derived work of the GNU make codebase and as such (if it was subject to copyright requirements, and barring other agreements such as copyright assignment etc.) it would be jointly copyright between the FSF and Jeremy D. and the only way the license could be modified would be with the unanimous agreement of both parties.
The applicable license, unless/until a change was agreed, would be the one under which the code was licensed when Jeremy D. created his patch. Assuming he was working with GNU make 3.82, the license is GPLv3.
It's not possible to backport changes from newer versions of GNU make, with a newer license, to older versions of GNU make, with an older license, then release the whole thing under the older license. That's not how it works... | Paul D. Smith <psmith> |
| Mon Jan 6 19:48:43 2014, comment #4: The version committed appears to be my patch (with a cleanup to the code comment and the test case condensed to use fewer lines). I'm fine with making my patch available as GPL2+. | Jeremy Devenport <jeremyd> |
| Sat Jan 4 19:05:54 2014, comment #3: Jeremy and Kamil,
Can you please comment as to the licensing requirements of your patches? Are they available as GPL2+ or GPL3? (ie, will you allow me to apply them to make 3.8.1 as GPL2+).
If you specified in the patch, I apologize as I do not want to look at them prior to knowing that they are not GPL3+.
Which version was actually committed? | Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia <jeremyhu> |
| Mon Sep 10 02:36:58 2012, comment #2: Fix applied. Thank you both for the useful test cases and debugging work. | Paul D. Smith <psmith> |
| Thu Aug 5 08:47:09 2010, comment #1: I have also encountered this bug and debugged it a little. I posted my comments to the bug-make list:

| Thu Aug 5 01:24:56 2010, original submission: make 3.82 sometimes fails to make intermediate (or secondary) files during parallel builds. I see that there are a couple bug reports with similar titles but this particular bug seems to have been introduced in 3.82 (and is still present in CVS).
I'm attaching a patch that adds a test that demonstrates the bug along with a fix that seems to work. I'm not very familiar with the code so I'm not sure that my fix doesn't break something else. | Jeremy Devenport <jeremyd> |
