Inclusion of GNU jaxp in libgcj

Hi list,
I thought including GNU jaxp in libgcj. Its part of the of the
classpath-x project. Its licensed under GPL with the same exceptional
clause that libgcj has with the exception of the DOM interface
sources (which are subject instead to the W3C license) and the
SAX2 r2pre2 files (which are in the public domain). No file I
investigated showed any assigned copyright notice to FSF. All copyright
notices of files under GPL contain personal names of the authors.
Classpath includes GNU jaxp in a directory called "external" since a
long time. Is it okay to do something similar in libgcj ? Will the main
gcc maintainers agree to somthing like this ? I know other libraries
where included in gcc without assigning copyright to FSF too.
Any comments about this appreciated.
Michael
