Are you sure, Oroszi? Because, the license says derivative works. So I
assume that's only derivative libs. Since I'm in feeling very weird today,
I'll use the analogy of derived classes...

class libc
{
};

class my_program
{
    protected:
        libc lib_interface;
};

class my_lib : public libc
{
};

So I assume here that only my_lib should distribute sources. my_program is
not required to, because I only use the lib, I don't derive from it.

AFAIK, the libraries are a separate project. The web-page for libc++ is
http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/

Also,
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/documentation.html,
the documentation page links to a GNU GPL, so I guess the libs are GPL.

Bad news?

Anyway, Have a Happy New Years'.
