Hi,
We want to use gcc 4.4.4 to build our commercial products. But while reviewing the gcc licences, we got a GPL question about gcc 4.4 prerequisite libraries GMP, MPFR and MPC. These three libraries are required to build gcc. However, their source trees are not bundled with gcc 4.4.4 source tree downloaded from gnu gcc ftp site. At the top level of gcc 4.4.4 source tree, there is a COPYING.RUNTIME license which grants additional permissions to use gcc to build commercial products. Does this license also cover GMP, MPFR and MPC?
My question is: is it legally safe to use gcc 4.4 to build commercial products without exposing our code to GPL?
Any replies are appreciated!
Thanks,
Christina
