Sorry to pollute yet another news group with endless digressions on
interpreting the GNU copyleft...  However, Gregory Kemnitz's statement
above is NOT TRUE.  GCC certainly can and is being used to compile
commercial production code.  

The problematic issues under discussion in comp.lang.c++ involves
certain GNU *libraries*, e.g., libg++.  I refer you to the past 2 or 3
weeks of posting on that news group for more details.
