Hi Chris, I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is as follows.

The output should not be affected by the GPL, just like a binary produced by running GCC and GNU binutils does not need to be GPLed. > Also if I need to redistribute GCC-XML what would I as a commercial > developer be required to redistribute.

Only the source in the "GCC" subdirectory would need to be redistributed. It is the source to gccxml_cc1plus.exe which is the only binary under the GPL. All the code that is linked into gccxml.exe has a BSD-style license. -Brad _______________________________________________ gccxml mailing list [email protected] http://www.gccxml.org/mailman/listinfo/gccxml
