So, what restrictions are there on programs that use the library? A: None. We encourage such programs to be released as open source, but we won't punish you or sue you if you choose otherwise. and Q: So any program which uses libstdc++ falls under the GPL? A: No. The special exception permits use of the library in proprietary applications. - From Mark's summary you mentioned: 4.
