Bug ID: 61117 Summary: Manual uses term open source but should say free software Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libstdc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: jgay at gnu dot org In the manual for libstdc++, FAQ has the following entry: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/faq.html#faq.license.what_restrictions 2.4. I see. So, what restrictions are there on programs that use the library? None. We encourage such programs to be released as open source, but we won't punish you or sue you if you choose otherwise. In the above, the term "open source" should be replaced with "free software."
