<p><strong>As long as this sentence is in place, this page isn't
official. It is still experimental if you are reading this.</strong></p>
<p>There are two licenses affecting GNU libstdc++-v3: one for the code, and
one for the documentation. Here we will describe both of them, and try
to answer some of the common questions. If you have more questions, ask the
FSF or the gcc-help mailing list; the person writing this page is a
programmer, not a lawyer.
</p>
<hr>
<h2>The Code: Runtime GPL</h2>
<p>The source code of libstdc++-v3 is distributed under version 2 of the
<a href="COPYING">GNU General Public License</a>, with the so-called
&quot;runtime exception,&quot; as follows (or see any header or
implementation file):
<pre>
As a special exception, you may use this file as part of a free software
library without restriction. Specifically, if other files instantiate
templates or use macros or inline functions from this file, or you compile
this file and link it with other files to produce an executable, this
file does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be covered by
the GNU General Public License. This exception does not however
invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be covered by
the GNU General Public License.
</pre>
</p>
<p>Hopefully that text is self-explanatory. If it isn't, you need to speak
to your lawyer, or the Free Software Foundation. I am not a legal expert.
I do not even play one on television.
</p>
<!-- Most of the Q&A's are based on, paraphrased from, and outright stolen
from this thread:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2000-q2/subjects.html#00050
-->
<p><strong>Q: So any program which uses libstdc++ falls under the GPL?</strong>
<br>A: <strong>No.</strong> The special exception permits use of the
library in proprietary applications.
</p>
<p><strong>Q: How is that different from the GNU {Lesser,Library}
GPL?</strong>
<!-- Quoting Jason Merrill from the thread above: -->
<br>A: The LGPL requires that users be able to replace the LGPL code with a
modified version; this is trivial if the library in question is a C
shared library. But there's no way to make that work with C++, where
much of the library consists of inline functions and templates, which
are expanded inside the code that uses the library. So to allow people
to replace the library code, someone using the library would have to
distribute their own source, rendering the LGPL equivalent to the GPL.
</p>
<p><strong>Q: I see. So, what restrictions <em>are</em> there on
programs that use the library?</strong>
<br>A: None. We encourage such programs to be released as open source,
but we won't punish you or sue you if you choose otherwise.
</p>
<!-- Someone would probably shoot me if I uncommented this.
<p><strong>Q: I heard that the startup code for libstdc++-v3 detects
what license the program uses, and makes my program crash if it isn't
an open source license! Is that true?</strong>
<br>A: You are paranoid and insane. Please calm down and try switching
to decaf.
</p>
-->
<hr>
<h2>The Docs: FDL</h2>
<p>The documentation shipped with the library and made available over the
web, including the pages generated from source comments, are copyrighted
by the Free Software Foundation, and placed under
the <a href="COPYING.DOC">GNU Free Documentation License version 1.1</a>.
There are no Front-Cover Texts, no Back-Cover Texts, and
<!-- as far as I know -->
no Invariant Sections.
</p>
<p>If you plan on making copies of the documentation, please let us know.
We can probably offer suggestions.
