There are two licenses affecting GNU libstdc++: one for the code,

and one for the documentation.

There is a license section in the FAQ regarding common <a class="link" href="../faq.html#faq.license">questions</a>. If you have more

GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
Version 3.1, 31 March 2009<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
Copyright (C) 2009 <a class="link" href="https://www.fsf.org" target="_top">Free Software Foundation, Inc.</a><br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this<br />
|
||
license document, but changing it is not allowed.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an additional<br />
|
||
permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public License, version<br />
|
||
3 ("GPLv3"). It applies to a given file (the "Runtime Library") that<br />
|
||
bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the file stating that<br />
|
||
the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of<br />
|
||
certain GCC header files and runtime libraries with the compiled<br />
|
||
program. The purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of<br />
|
||
non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way, the<br />
|
||
header files and runtime libraries covered by this Exception.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
0. Definitions.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires the Runtime<br />
|
||
Library for execution after a Compilation Process, or makes use of an<br />
|
||
interface provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based<br />
|
||
on the Runtime Library.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
"GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection, with or without<br />
|
||
modifications, governed by version 3 (or a specified later version) of<br />
|
||
the GNU General Public License (GPL) with the option of using any<br />
|
||
subsequent versions published by the FSF.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
"GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of propagation,<br />
|
||
modification and use would permit combination with GCC in accord with<br />
|
||
the license of GCC.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a real or virtual<br />
|
||
target processor architecture, in executable form or suitable for<br />
|
||
input to an assembler, loader, linker and/or execution<br />
|
||
phase. Notwithstanding that, Target Code does not include data in any<br />
|
||
format that is used as a compiler intermediate representation, or used<br />
|
||
for producing a compiler intermediate representation.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely represented in<br />
|
||
non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in<br />
|
||
Java Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example,<br />
|
||
use of source code generators and preprocessors need not be considered<br />
|
||
part of the Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be<br />
|
||
understood as starting with the output of the generators or<br />
|
||
preprocessors.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or<br />
|
||
with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any<br />
|
||
work based on GCC. For example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to<br />
|
||
optimize any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an<br />
|
||
Eligible Compilation Process.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
1. Grant of Additional Permission.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by<br />
|
||
combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such<br />
|
||
propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that<br />
|
||
all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You<br />
|
||
may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice,<br />
|
||
consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
2. No Weakening of GCC Copyleft.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
The availability of this Exception does not imply any general<br />
|
||
presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft<br />
|
||
requirements of the license of GCC.<br />

Hopefully that text is self-explanatory. If it isn't, you need to speak
|
||
to your lawyer, or the Free Software Foundation.
