GNU Compiler Collection.

GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection. It provides compiler front-ends for several languages, including C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, and Go. It also includes runtime support libraries for these languages.

GCC provides many levels of source code error checking traditionally provided by other tools (such as lint), produces debugging information, and can perform many different optimizations to the resulting object code. GCC supports many different architectures and operating systems.

Notes

There are many files that are LGPLv2.1+ but some of the libs (like softfp inside libgcc) are taken from other projects (here glibc). Here unlike with softfp there is no README telling that it's part of another project and the header clearly states that it's part of GCC.

Notes

The top directory has COPYING, COPYING3,. COPYING3.LIB, COPYING.LIB, COPYING.RUNTIME and there is also included code like zlib so there are more licenses than just GPLv3+ with the "runtime" exception.
