OK. Let me rephrase that to,
"What would I need to make available to comply with GPLv3 for a GPLv3
library delivered as part of an
open hardware system?".
I'm wanting to clarify the difference between GCC used to make the
system's delivered code and
libopenstm32 used to make the system's delivered code, where parts of
libopenstm32 are included in the
output. I'm thinking I would need to make available libopenstm32
source, but not GCC source.
Actually, the GPLv3 includes an exception about compilers:
"However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work."
(unmodified) GCC for sure is a "generally available free program".
