One thing that escapes a lot of people's notice is that most C++ app
out there on Linux links vs. crt1.o crti.o crtbegin.o crtend.o and
crtn.o - which are injected by the compiler to handle bootstrapping eg.
C++ constructors & destructors Those are licensed under the GPL + GCC
runtime library exception[1] AFAIR. I guess others around Apache discussed
similar things before[2].
