Hi David,<br><br>Is every GPL part GCC related? If yes, GCC has a licence that allows to redistribute its runtime in any program (meaning the program&#39;s licence is not relevant).<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Matthieu<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br>
<br>
While testing the mingw gcc 3.x -&gt; 4.x migration, I realized that some<br>
technical requirements in gcc 4.x have potential license implications.<br>
In short, it is more difficult now than before to statically link<br>
gcc-related runtimes into numpy/scipy. I think using the DLL is safer<br>
and better, but it means the windows installers will contain GPL code.<br>
My understanding is that this is OK because the code in question is<br>
GPL + exception, meaning the usual GPL requirements only apply to<br>
those runtimes, and that&#39;s ok ?<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
<br>
David<br>
