There are some problems using GCC with products that are sold for profit.  Even
though MINIX is cheap it is not free, and I don't think that Prentice Hall would
be able to distribute the compiler.  There may be some way around this, but you
may find yourself in court if you are not careful.

I think that RMS has already said that he does not want FSF software to be
distributed with MINIX.  I don't know why.
