The following reply was made to PR gnu/154385; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Pedro F. Giffuni" <giffunip@tutopia.com> To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: gnu/154385: Minor fixes to contrib/libstdc++ Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2011 18:17:42 -0800 (PST) I think I've cleared the mistery of the libstdc++ license: According to the FSF, the library for libstdc++ is GPL3 plus runtime exception: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html However, this license is dated Version 3.1, 31 March 2009 but the latest libstdc++ for the 4.2-branch was released 2008-05-19. 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.
