(Otherwise OS X would not have been developed by Apple.) It looks as if the GNU libstdc++ licence or a LGPL modified along the lines I have mentioned might be the answer. You can modify the licence any time you like provide that all those who hold the copyright consent - which is the authors unless they have assigned copyright or have produced it in the course of their employment. (This is English law, I do not know about your own jurisdiction.)
