It's technical:
- more modern than Cstd
- in particular, post 1998 STL specs
- more modern than stlport4
- actually a direct descendant of stlport4
- more conformant
- supports multibyte
The GPL (any version) doesn't enter into the equation. The APLv2 on stdcxx is
compatible with the GPLv3 which we use for Qt and the (L)GPLv3 for KDE.
