     1.8 +- Also, I want to clarify one point. If you build a toolchain with crosstool-NG
     1.9 +  and you happen to sell, deliver, or otherwise publish this toolchain to a
    1.10 +  third party, I consider crosstool-NG as being part of the sources needed to
    1.11 +  rebuild the afore-mentioned toolchain, alongside with all other source code
    1.12 +  that third party is otherwise entitled to receive, due to other licenses of
    1.13 +  the different components. See licenses.d/gpl.txt, section 3, which reads:
    1.14 +   > For an executable work, complete source code means [...], plus the
    1.15 +   > scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
    1.16 +
    1.17 +  In short: crosstool-NG is the part refered to as "the scripts to control
    1.18 +  compilation and installation of the exectuable", it being the toolchain in
    1.19 +  our case; and as such you must make it available, in conformance to the
    1.20 +  GPLv2, see above.
