This is a question that has been bugging me for a long, long time. After searching I feel that I have found only a partial answer at best. Perhaps someone knows or can point me in the right direction.
Are programs you make with GCC required to be licensed under the GPL? What I have found on the GNU FAQ is that GNU tools do not impose the GPL on code you write. So that is nice, but what about the included standard libraries included with GCC? Aren't those under the GPL and using them(stuff like iostream, stdlib, etc) would force adoption of GPL terms for your program?
Thanks for any info.
