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. + |
