The executable is linked with those object or archive files in /usr/lib by GCC. The GCC is containing in FreeBSD. I understand that scrt.o and libc.a covered under BSD licence and not by the LGPL. I am not sure of the genesis of libgcc, though. I have question, Can we distribute the linked executable as such ? Is there no restrictions on that ? Is the executable covered under LGPL or GPL ?
