Available C++ Libraries FAQ

URL: http://www.trumphurst.com/cpplibs/

This is a searchable list of libraries and utilities (both free
and commercial) available to C++ programmers.

If you know of a library which is not in the list, why not fill
in the form at http://www.trumphurst.com/cppsub.html

I suggest you change "public domain" to "free" in that page. Public
Domain means that the library has no copyright. That's basically never
the case, and thus wrong. (AFAIK the only truely PD code in existence is
the ones published by some governments which have a law that anything
published by the government is PD. Anything made by individuals is
copyrighted.)

Good idea - I've done that.

Unless they explicitly put it into the public domain. Or after
the copyright expires (usually 70 years after the death of the
author today, at least in Europe, but it can vary---anything
published before 1923 in the United states is now in the public
domain, for example). Of course, there probably aren't many C++
libraries in the first case, and and probably none where the
second case applies.
