 \title Android GNU C++ Run-time Licensing
 \ingroup licensing
 \brief Provides additional information about the licensing of run-time dependencies of Qt for Android

 The Android platform does not provide a full implementation of the C++ run-time. Instead,
 apps that depend on features such as STL, exceptions, or RTTI, must include an additional
 native run-time library that provides the features they need.

 When built with g++, Qt will use the GNU libstdc++ library which is distributed as part of the Google
 Android NDK. Qt Creator will copy this library into the .APK for any Qt-based Android app. The library
 will then be loaded by the app on start-up to meet the run-time requirements of Qt.The GNU C++ run-time
 is licensed under the
 \l{http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/appendix_gpl.html}{GNU General Public License version 3} with
 an exception which grants permission for run-time linking and usage of the library by an application which
 would otherwise violate the terms of the main license. For more information about this exception, see
 \l{http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html}{the official license page}.

 When Qt is built with clang instead, it will use LLVM's libc++, which is dual-licensed under both the
 University of Illinois "BSD-Like" license and the MIT license.

 \section1 Information About The GNU C++ Run-time License From GCC Headers

 This file is part of the GNU ISO C++ Library.  This library is free
 software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms
 of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
 Foundation; either version 3, or (at your option) any later
 version.

 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
 WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU
 General Public License for more details.

 Under Section 7 of GPL version 3, you are granted additional
 permissions described in the GCC Runtime Library Exception, version
 3.1, as published by the Free Software Foundation.

 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License and
 a copy of the GCC Runtime Library Exception along with this program;
 see the files COPYING3 and COPYING.RUNTIME respectively.  If not, see
 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

 \section1 The GCC Run-time Library Exception

 GCC RUNTIME LIBRARY EXCEPTION

 Version 3.1, 31 March 2009

 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
 license document, but changing it is not allowed.

 This GCC Runtime Library Exception ("Exception") is an additional
 permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public License, version
 3 ("GPLv3"). It applies to a given file (the "Runtime Library") that
 bears a notice placed by the copyright holder of the file stating that
 the file is governed by GPLv3 along with this Exception.

 When you use GCC to compile a program, GCC may combine portions of
 certain GCC header files and runtime libraries with the compiled
 program. The purpose of this Exception is to allow compilation of
 non-GPL (including proprietary) programs to use, in this way, the
 header files and runtime libraries covered by this Exception.

 0. Definitions.

 A file is an "Independent Module" if it either requires the Runtime
 Library for execution after a Compilation Process, or makes use of an
 interface provided by the Runtime Library, but is not otherwise based
 on the Runtime Library.

 "GCC" means a version of the GNU Compiler Collection, with or without
 modifications, governed by version 3 (or a specified later version) of
 the GNU General Public License (GPL) with the option of using any
 subsequent versions published by the FSF.

 "GPL-compatible Software" is software whose conditions of propagation,
 modification and use would permit combination with GCC in accord with
 the license of GCC.

 "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.
