If you are one of the authors, and you happen to have a copy of the
software, then I believe it is your right to distribute it under a new
license or under the GMGPL.

http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html

The tarballs are crypto-signed and contain a COPYING file and headers.
If you're still not sure about the license terms, ask the people who
crypto-signed the archive.

Yes, both in libstdc++ and libgnat.
