Could you explain how using gcc would affect your ownership?  (I know
that g++ would in fact do as you say, but gcc???)

Also how does that relate to the fact that in many previous postings
you have stated that you won't even have any FSF source code on your
computer and won't use any FSF software.

The only problem that I know of with any of this is related to the
g++ libraries.  And you and I are both free to buy some other c++
system and use it!

Whats the big deal?
