I'm good with the "linking with libstdc++ doesn't force you to GPL your code," but the question arose, does it require you to distribute the libstdc++ source in some form? (Does it matter if it is static or dynamic linking? In the case of dynamic linking, we DO NOT distribute the library, the user already has it.)
I'm sure this has been done to death somewhere, but I have not been able to find a citation of an authoritative source on this aspect. By "authoritative" I mean a source that would help convince a lawyer that libstdc++ isn't treated the same way as the usual LGPL library, or, says it actually is treated the same. It's the ambiguity that is causing me a headache. I've found a few opinions, but, except for the affect of the runtime exception on whether code built using the library must be GPLed or not, I have found this question about the library source answered. Any pointers to sites or references (or even an effective google search string) would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Wm _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
