Mmm...didn't Mr Jobs, Perot, et al, dare a few million by compiling the Next OS

I think you may be being a wee bit paranoid, and giving the wrong impression.
Using the GNU compiler goes not mean that you have to give away the source to
your program. IF you modify THE COMPILER and distribute it, your must also
freely distribute your modifications.
