- hi,
- the executables that gcc creates have no limitations in the
- way that they are sold and/or copied, other than the ones
- you apply in your own copyright, i.e. the GNU copyleft doesn't
- effect it, as long as you don't link it with any gnu libraries.
-
- if you do, than it is covered by the gnu library lisence which
- requires taht you provide the object code for your modules and
- the source for the library (so that one could modify the library
- and relink if one desired)
-
- jonathan.
