Perhaps the difference is that with the bits and pieces of gcc that you get, you don't even realize that you have them, which is different from noting that you have several .jar files floating around in your download that aren't under the same terms as the rest of the code.
As far as I'm concerned, though, I'd vote for practicality - I don't care how 'free java' is licensed, as long as I can link proprietary code to it if needs be, and it frees me from using Sun's java, and all the restrictions that that entails. -- David N.
