Uhh, silly Jackson... again: creation of new copies in the case of GCC is perfectly fine and unrestricted thanks to the GPL's reproduction permission. As for the rest, go send a patch to wikipedia... <chuckles> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright#The_first-sale_doctrine_and_exhaustion_of_rights "The first-sale doctrine and exhaustion of rights Main articles: First-sale doctrine and Exhaustion of rights Copyright law does not restrict the owner of a copy from reselling legitimately obtained copies of copyrighted works, provided that those copies were originally produced by or with the permission of the copyright holder. It is therefore legal, for example, to resell a copyrighted book or CD.
