There are two licenses affecting GNU libstdc++: one for the code,
and one for the documentation.

There is a license section in the FAQ regarding common <a class="link" href="../faq.html#faq.license">questions</a>. If you have more
- questions, ask the FSF or the <a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/lists.html">gcc mailing list</a>.

-This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an additional<br/>

-the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception.<br/>
-<br/>
-When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of<br/>
-certain GCC header files and runtime libraries with the compiled<br/>
-program. The purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of<br/>

-header files and runtime libraries covered by this Exception.<br/>

-0. Definitions.<br/>
-<br/>
-A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires the Runtime<br/>
-Library for execution after a Compilation Process, or makes use of an<br/>
-interface provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based<br/>
-on the Runtime Library.<br/>
-<br/>
-"GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection, with or without<br/>
-modifications, governed by version 3 (or a specified later version) of<br/>
-the GNU General Public License (GPL) with the option of using any<br/>
-subsequent versions published by the FSF.<br/>
-<br/>
-"GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of propagation,<br/>
-modification and use would permit combination with GCC in accord with<br/>
-the license of GCC.<br/>
-<br/>
-"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a real or virtual<br/>
-target processor architecture, in executable form or suitable for<br/>
-input to an assembler, loader, linker and/or execution<br/>
-phase. Notwithstanding that, Target Code does not include data in any<br/>
-format that is used as a compiler intermediate representation, or used<br/>
-for producing a compiler intermediate representation.<br/>
-<br/>
-The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely represented in<br/>
-non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in<br/>
-Java Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example,<br/>
-use of source code generators and preprocessors need not be considered<br/>
-part of the Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be<br/>
-understood as starting with the output of the generators or<br/>
-preprocessors.<br/>
-<br/>
-A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or<br/>
-with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any<br/>
-work based on GCC. For example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to<br/>
-optimize any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an<br/>
-Eligible Compilation Process.<br/>
-<br/>
-1. Grant of Additional Permission.<br/>
-<br/>
-You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by<br/>
-combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such<br/>
-propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that<br/>
-all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You<br/>
-may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice,<br/>
-consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules.<br/>
-<br/>
-2. No Weakening of GCC Copyleft.<br/>
-<br/>
-The availability of this Exception does not imply any general<br/>
-presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft<br/>
-requirements of the license of GCC.<br/>
