This is the debian package of the GNU Compiler Collection
compiled for cross development for the msp430 processor.
It was created by Luca Bruno from a patchset
distributed by the mspgcc project and applied to the original
GCC source packages.
msp430 original changes are available through git at
http://mspgcc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb-index.cgi
Original GCC is available via the gcc-4.5-source package
or at http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/
mspgcc patches follow GCC original copyright, as declared by
the author clarifying the license of the patch-set:

In all the excitement of getting the new version out, I forgot I'd been
asked to provide a header on the patch files that apply to the upstream
distributions (binutils, gcc, gdb) explicitly noting that the material
therein was copyright Free Software Foundation and subject to licensing
restrictions of the upstream distribution (presumably GPL). This is
consistent with everything I've been able to find in the source repositories
from CVS onward.
