The GNU C Compiler (gcc) is a publicly available C compiler provided
by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).  GCC supports both ANSI and K&R
C and provides (in some cases) better optimization that the standard C
compiler.  The source for gcc is provided as is required by the GNU
Public License (GPL).  The GPL requires full disclosure (rather than
concealment) of FSF source code and/or modifications or derivations.

If you are on the internet, you can retrieve FSF sources from
prep.ai.mit.edu via FTP.
