OSBC: Life at the edge of the GPLOSBC: Life at the edge of the GPLPosted Apr 2, 2009 16:33 UTC (Thu) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330)In reply to: OSBC: Life at the edge of the GPL by jeffnorman Parent article: OSBC: Life at the edge of the GPL The language you point to is a modification to the old terms that apply to libgcc and libstdc++, which have always been licensed roughly this way, to allow proprietary applications to link with them in a way that is even more permissive than the LGPL. The intent is to use it only for essential language support routines.

I've certainly never heard of the libgcc exception being picked up by
anything that wasn't a language support library. It's possible, I suppose, especially now that more attention has been drawn to this particular obscure corner. But I'm not really sure it's *likely*.
