The license in the libstdc++ and the parent directory hasn't changed and appears to be LGPL version 2.1. http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/branches/gcc-4_2-branch/ I would think that we can update libstdc++ to the latest version in the gcc-4_2 branch (GCC 4.2.4), which has many fixes for boost, etc. Feel free to close this PR and consider updating libstdc++ by regular means.
