Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Licensing Information

 

"Target Code" refers to output from any compiler for a real or virtual

target processor architecture, in executable form or suitable for

input to an assembler, loader, linker and/or execution

phase. Notwithstanding that, Target Code does not include data in any

format that is used as a compiler intermediate representation, or used

for producing a compiler intermediate representation.

 

The "Compilation Process" transforms code entirely represented in

non-intermediate languages designed for human-written code, and/or in

Java Virtual Machine byte code, into Target Code. Thus, for example,

use of source code generators and preprocessors need not be considered

part of the Compilation Process, since the Compilation Process can be

understood as starting with the output of the generators or

preprocessors.

 

A Compilation Process is "Eligible" if it is done using GCC, alone or

with other GPL-compatible software, or if it is done without using any

work based on GCC. For example, using non-GPL-compatible Software to

optimize any GCC intermediate representations would not qualify as an

Eligible Compilation Process.

 

1. Grant of Additional Permission.

 

You have permission to propagate a work of Target Code formed by

combining the Runtime Library with Independent Modules, even if such

propagation would otherwise violate the terms of GPLv3, provided that

all Target Code was generated by Eligible Compilation Processes. You

may then convey such a combination under terms of your choice,

consistent with the licensing of the Independent Modules.

 

2. No Weakening of GCC Copyleft.

 

The availability of this Exception does not imply any general

presumption that third-party software is unaffected by the copyleft

requirements of the license of GCC.

 

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you    

permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an    

executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent    

modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under    

terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked    

independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that    

module.  An independent module is a module which is not derived from
