It would be a breach of the GPL by Apple for it to distribute its version of gcc under any other licence than the GPL, unless it has the agreement of the FSF (which for all I know it might have obtained). The more likely and satisfactory interpretation of the APSL click-through page though is that the modifications are dual-licensed, so that the GPL applies to them as part of gcc, and the APSL applies to them in their separate form. -- JEREMY MALCOLM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal: http://www.malcolm.id.au Providing online networks of Australian lawyers (http://www.ilaw.com.au) and Linux experts (http://www.linuxconsultants.com.au) for instant help!
