The current idea for building it is usin= g gcc via MinGW. The component depends on libsdtc++, and also on libgcc, as= it is built using gcc. The question is whether we can distribute the binar= y outcome as a=C2=A0convenience binary under Apache license. Besides the st= andard license for libstdc++ and libgcc (which I believe is GPLv3), there i= s also "GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION": [https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html] which may allow such distribution. It has been requested here: [https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/42964768db94cfdfff30970f2300a6e2cf4e5= 58ecd551c1992a774fa@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E] that: --- As for libstdc++ which I assume is a required GPL dependency, if you think = there is a valid exception it should be documented at [http://apache.org/legal/resolved.html] or derived from information found there, or maybe in a LEGAL jira ticket th= at clarifies things. --- =C2=A0 Thanks for any help! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: legal-discuss-unsubscribe@apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: legal-discuss-help@apache.org
