GPLv3 with exeptions
The source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3, with the addi-
tion under section 7 of an exception described in the “GCC Runtime Library Exception, version
3.1” as follows (or see the fi le COPYING.RUNTIME):
GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION
Version 3.1, 31 March 2009
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
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 fi le (the “Runtime Library”) that bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the
fi le stating that the fi le is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception.
When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of certain GCC header
fi les 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 fi les and
runtime libraries covered by this Exception.
1. Defi nitions.
A fi le 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 modifi cations, gov-
erned by version 3 (or a specifi ed later version) of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
