No, the gcc compiler links to libraries with LGPL or other lesser restricted GPL derivates. Otherwise gcc would be useless for many companies (as they, sadly, typically don't want you to have the source). See Mark's very nice summary. I don't understand Why people can't just let code free for real and use BSD style licenses. It works pretty well for many projects. /ragge Using Tomcat but need to do more?
