Here is some additional information:

binutils switched from GPL 2 to GPL 3 with version 2.18:

Changes in 2.18:

* The binutils sources are now released under version 3 of the GNU General
   Public License.


sparc-dis.c is already based on 2.17, so we won't get anything newer.
Even the latest version still uses the redundant NULL check, so I
can send my patch to the binutils maintainers, too.

Regards,
Stefan
