I've been doing some more reading and there is a gcc based compiler on the PC,
which says that you can do anything with the programs you create as long as you
don't use one of their GPL link libraries (because then you end up with GPL
code in your program) otherwise you need to distribute your programs under GPL.
So, my next question would be does the gcc port from e.g. geekgadgets have any
GPL link libs?
