This is already true today. Even if MegaCorp doesn't make any changes to the code, the code is available under GPLv2+, which means they can license their compiler under GPLv3+, or GPLv3 only, at their choice. And this is a good thing. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ FSF Latin America Board Member http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED], gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist [EMAIL PROTECTED], gnu.org}
