Thanks for your answer! For clarification, I was wondering if the license terms in `COPYING.RUNTIME` from the GCC distribution tarball root directory also apply to the `libcc1` and `libcpp` sub-directories. There are other directories where the files explicitly state the Runtime Exception in addition to the GPL-3.0+ license. But given the files for `libcc1` and `libcpp` we are not sure what the scope and purpose of the `COPYING.RUNTIME` file is. I don't think our lawyer can help with that question. 😊 Thank you very much, Jochen
