I assumed he just sent this mail, but....

Let me explain since you seem far too ignorant to be civil about this. I
stated that they have a license on the product to "CONTROL DISTRIBUTION OF
THE SYSTEM". This means that they do not want just anyone selling,
modifying, etc their product without permission. You can USE THE SYSTEM TO
DEVELOP ANYTHING YOU WANT AND THEY HAVE NO RESTRICTINOS ON THAT.

Did I get through to you yet - I cannot speak at any simpler of a level for you.

How stating that they have produced a product that anyone can use and that
gets around the licensing restrictions that g++ forced on us "DAMAGES"
their reputation is beyond me. I can only thank them for the product - it
makes life easier on those who use it and it is GOOD by all accounts.

I do not know if English is a second language to you or you are just
ignorant, but do not post articles insinuating that I stated something that
I did not. Learn how to read and COMPREHEND what you read before responding.
