Instead of losing it, why don't you point us to a place where this is discussed rationally? It seems most people have only heard something about the initial release of 2.1 being yanked of the ftp server due to a copyright problem. Enlighten us.
It isn't discussed rationally anywhere, because it is a stupid political issue. The "licensing issue" is a smoke screen to hide the real issue, and that is glibc recommends it be compiled with egcs instead of gcc.
That is why gnu.org no longer carries glibc 2.1. It is still available from sites controlled by sane people. -- Joel Klecker (aka Espy) <URL:http://web.espy.org/> <URL:mailto:jk@espy.org> <URL:mailto:espy@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC -- <URL:http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/>
