In case you answer "yes", you must include the gcc-sources as well.
That is mistaken -- nothing in Emacs is generated from source files in
GCC, so GCC is not part of the sorce code of Emacs. Perhaps you have
overlooked the distinction between the source files and tools.
Would the GPL say politely: please do, it's recommended, than it's fine
for sure.
If you want to criticize the GPL, please do it in
address@hidden, not here.
