GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION

Version 3.1, 31 March 2009
|

|

General information:

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.
|
|
|
|
0. 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.
