They're all GPL + the run-time exception:

<quote>
        In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public
        License, the Free Software Foundation gives you unlimited
        permission to link the compiled version of this file into
        combinations with other programs, and to distribute those
        combinations without any restriction coming from the use of
        this file.  (The General Public License restrictions do apply
        in other respects; for example, they cover modification of the
        file, and distribution when not linked into a combine
        executable.)

If you find any source or header files installed as part of GCC, or
used in one of the libraries installed by GCC, that does not contain
this exception clause, please let us know, because it should be fixed.
