Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole point of the gcc compiler
was that if you use it, the code you write is also covered by their licensing
agreement which, from a recent thread in this newsgroup, says the resultant
binaries must also be given away free??  I am currently writing a software
package under SYSV 386, and it was because of this thread that I went back
to "cc" so I didn't have to worry about this. Is this true or not; could
someone from FSF clarify this for me??
