4GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION
5Version 3.1, 31 March 2009

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