GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION
Version 3.1, 31 March 2009
General information: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception.html
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
<http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of
this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an
additional permission under section 7 of the GNU
General Public License, version 3 ("GPLv3"). It
applies to a given file (the "Runtime Library") that
bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the
file stating that the file is governed by GPLv3 along
with this Exception.
When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions
of certain GCC header files and runtime libraries with the
compiled program. The purpose of this Exception is to allow
compilation of non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to
use, in this way, the header files and runtime libraries
covered by this Exception.

Definitions.
A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires
the Runtime Library for execution after a Compilation
Process, or makes use of an interface provided by the
Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based on the
Runtime Library.
"GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection,
with or without modifications, governed by version 3
(or a specified later version) of the GNU General
Public License (GPL) with the option of using any
subsequent versions published by the FSF.
"GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of
propagation, modification and use would permit
combination with GCC in accord with the license of
GCC.
"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a
real or virtual target processor architecture, in
executable form or suitable for input to an assembler,
loader, linker and/or execution phase. Notwithstanding
that, Target Code does not include data in any format
that is used as a compiler intermediate
representation, or used for producing a compiler
intermediate representation.
The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely
represented in non-intermediate languages designed for
human-written code, and/or in Java Virtual Machine
byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example, use of
source code generators and preprocessors need not be
considered part of the Compilation Process, since the
Compilation Process can be understood as starting with
the output of the generators or preprocessors.
A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using
GCC, alone or with other GPL-compatible software, or
if it is done without using any work based on GCC. For
example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to optimize
any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify
as an Eligible Compilation Process.
-
1.
Grant of Additional Permission.
You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code
formed by combining the Runtime Library with
Independent Modules, even if such propagation would
otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that
all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation
Processes. You may then convey such a combination
under terms of your choice, consistent with the
licensing of the Independent Modules.
-
2.
No Weakening of GCC Copyleft.
The availability of this Exception does not imply any general
presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the
copyleft requirements of the license of GCC.
