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

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.
