Please be careful when replying about copyrights.  libstdcx is NOT
LGPL!  libgpp.a is, but the standard library (which is *required* for
language compliance) is usable commercially as long as your program is
compiled with gcc (as all djgpp programs are).

The FAQ has a section about this question; please refer to it.
