#### 6.3.7.3 Miscellaneous Documentation

In addition to the formal documentation that is installed by GCC, there are several other text files in the `gcc` subdirectory with miscellaneous documentation:

`ABOUT-GCC-NLS`

  Notes on GCC’s Native Language Support. FIXME: this should be part of this manual rather than a separate file.

`ABOUT-NLS`

  Notes on the Free Translation Project.

`COPYING`
`COPYING3`

  The GNU General Public License, Versions 2 and 3.

`COPYING.LIB`
`COPYING3.LIB`

  The GNU Lesser General Public License, Versions 2.1 and 3.

`*ChangeLog*`
`*/ChangeLog*`

  Change log files for various parts of GCC.

`LANGUAGES`

  Details of a few changes to the GCC front-end interface. FIXME: the information in this file should be part of general documentation of the front-end interface in this manual.

`ONEWS`

  Information about new features in old versions of GCC. (For recent versions, the information is on the GCC web site.)

`README.Portability`

  Information about portability issues when writing code in GCC. FIXME: why isn’t this part of this manual or of the GCC Coding Conventions?

FIXME: document such files in subdirectories, at least `config`, `c`, `cp`, `objc`, `testsuite`.
