GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION

Version 3.1, 31 March 2009

Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

7
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
8
license document, but changing it is not allowed.

10
This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an additional
11
permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public License, version
12
3 ("GPLv3"). It applies to a given file (the "Runtime Library") that
13
bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the file stating that
14
the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception.
15
 
16
When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of
17
certain GCC header files and runtime libraries with the compiled
18
program. The purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of
19
non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way, the
20
header files and runtime libraries covered by this Exception.
21
 
22
0. Definitions.
23
 
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
26
interface provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based
27
on the Runtime Library.
28
 
29
"GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection, with or without
30
modifications, governed by version 3 (or a specified later version) of
31
the GNU General Public License (GPL) with the option of using any
32
subsequent versions published by the FSF.
33
 
34
"GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of propagation,
35
modification and use would permit combination with GCC in accord with
36
the license of GCC.
37
 
38
"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a real or virtual
39
target processor architecture, in executable form or suitable for
40
input to an assembler, loader, linker and/or execution
41
phase. Notwithstanding that, Target Code does not include data in any
42
format that is used as a compiler intermediate representation, or used
43
for producing a compiler intermediate representation.
44
 
45
The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely represented in
46
non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in
47
Java Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example,
48
use of source code generators and preprocessors need not be considered
49
part of the Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be
50
understood as starting with the output of the generators or
51
preprocessors.
52
 
53
A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or
54
with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any
55
work based on GCC. For example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to
56
optimize any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an
57
Eligible Compilation Process.
58
 
59
1. Grant of Additional Permission.
60
 
61
You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by
62
combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such
63
propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that
64
all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You
65
may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice,
66
consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules.
67
 
68
2. No Weakening of GCC Copyleft.
69
 
70
The availability of this Exception does not imply any general
71
presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft
72
requirements of the license of GCC.
