common-licenses: Adding new licenses and renaming
I'm adding full common licenses to the common license directory.
These licenses are taken from the SPDX project or the OSI license
repository. They conform to the SPDX naming convention and will be
used by the new license.bbclass license parser in order to maintain
some sort of internal standard for license naming.
Going forward, we should have a bigger conversation about the LICENSE
field and standardizing that to conform to this naming standard.

4 | GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION | ||
5 | Version 3.1, 31 March 2009 | ||
6 | |||
7 | General information: | ||
8 | http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception.html | ||
9 | Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | ||
10 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license | ||
11 | document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
12 | This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an additional | ||
13 | permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public License, version 3 | ||
14 | ("GPLv3"). It applies to a given file (the "Runtime | ||
15 | Library") that bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the file | ||
16 | stating that the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception. | ||
17 | When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of certain GCC | ||
18 | header files and runtime libraries with the compiled program. The purpose of | ||
19 | this Exception is to allow compilation of non-GPL (including proprietary) | ||
20 | programs to use, in this way, the header files and runtime libraries covered by | ||
21 | this Exception. | ||
22 | |||
23 | 0. Definitions. | ||
24 | A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires the Runtime | ||
25 | Library for execution after a Compilation Process, or makes use of an interface | ||
26 | provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based on the Runtime | ||
27 | Library. | ||
28 | "GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection, with or without | ||
29 | modifications, governed by version 3 (or a specified later version) of the GNU | ||
30 | General Public License (GPL) with the option of using any subsequent versions | ||
31 | published by the FSF. | ||
32 | "GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of | ||
33 | propagation, modification and use would permit combination with GCC in accord | ||
34 | with the license of GCC. | ||
35 | "Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a real or | ||
36 | virtual target processor architecture, in executable form or suitable for input | ||
37 | to an assembler, loader, linker and/or execution phase. Notwithstanding that, | ||
38 | Target Code does not include data in any format that is used as a compiler | ||
39 | intermediate representation, or used for producing a compiler intermediate | ||
40 | representation. | ||
41 | The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely represented in | ||
42 | non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in Java | ||
43 | Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example, use of source | ||
44 | code generators and preprocessors need not be considered part of the | ||
45 | Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be understood as | ||
46 | starting with the output of the generators or preprocessors. | ||
47 | A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or | ||
48 | with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any work | ||
49 | based on GCC. For example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to optimize any | ||
50 | GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an Eligible Compilation | ||
51 | Process. | ||
52 | |||
53 | 1. Grant of Additional Permission. | ||
54 | You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by combining the | ||
55 | Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such propagation would | ||
56 | otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that all Target Code was | ||
57 | generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You may then convey such a | ||
58 | combination under terms of your choice, consistent with the licensing of the | ||
59 | Independent Modules. | ||
60 | |||
61 | 2. No Weakening of GCC Copyleft. | ||
62 | The availability of this Exception does not imply any general presumption that | ||
63 | third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft requirements of the license | ||
64 | of GCC. | ||
