GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY
EXCEPTION

Version 3.1, 31 March 2009

Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software
Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

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

This GCC Runtime Library Exception
("Exception") is an additional permission
under section 7 of the GNU General Public
License, version 3 ("GPLv3"). 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.

OpenSSL

The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual
license, i.e. both the conditions of the
OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay
license apply to the toolkit.
