Hi,
Is libgccjit part of the GCC Runtime Library Exception?
Can I use libgccjit in a non-GPL (for example, MIT or Apache licensed)
project (without turning that project into GPL)? Can the authors of
proprietary software use it?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Best regards,
Timur
ps. Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any
definitive answers.

I'm the author and maintainer of libgccjit, but AFAIK the FSF holds the
copyright on it.
I'm not sure of the answers to your questions; I've emailed requesting
clarification of this.
I'm not a lawyer, so please don't consider any of this legal advice;
sorry that I can't be more helpful at this point.

Did the FSF answer your request for clarification?
Thanks,

Hi.
This question has been posted before, but didn't get a definitive
answer.
Here's the original question:

This question has been asked to me regarding the merging of
rustc_codegen_gcc (which uses libgccjit) into rustc:
https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/442#issuecomment-872594241
Thanks!
