So if you use the GPL'd toolchain to _compile_ your application, you have to GPL your application, unless you pay them money?
Basically, yes.
That's the sort of behavior that really pissed me off when proprietary companies did such things.
They pissed a lot of people off, at least a lot of Ada developers. Fortunately, they did it fairly late in the game, so there is still a vast majority of the runtime covered under the GPL-with-exception. It basically caused a fork of the runtime. The version checked in with gcc still has the exception and is likely to stay that way. David -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
