            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."
