libstdc++ is licensed under the terms of GPLv2 license with "runtime exception" that is explained in FAQ form:
Q: So any program which uses libstdc++ falls under the GPL?
A: No. The special exception permits use of the library in proprietary applications.

But we are talking about LGPL license: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html

The main difference between GPL and LGPL that LGPL-ed library can be used by non-(L)GPL program. This program can be distributed under any chosen license.

Wikipedia provides a good introduction to LGPL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License
