Hello
May I have permission to use atomic64.h ,atomic32.h and list.h in a
proprietary software ?
I do not know who the authors are.
Thank you
Raz

You would likely have to basically track down everyone who has ever
contributed to those files and get their permission, which seems
unlikely. So the short answer is almost certainly no.
With newer gcc there are atomic built-in functions which will likely do
what you want for the atomic ops at least..
