The Open Source tool chain is generally GCC, its libraries, and debuggers.
Closed source use of the GCC tool chain is done all the time, but there are numerous gotchas that catch the unwary. Some of the libraries are covered by the Lesser GPL license, and as such are available for that kind of use, others are not. This is why there is a seemingly never ending stream of legal challenges to GPL violators. Which is why I was very careful to say: "May be in violation..." But since he is using microsloth compilers, and is charging for access to the source and executable code, his project isn't OpenSource in any respect. -Chuck Harris David Kirkby wrote:
As a reader of the gcc mailing lists, it is a fairly common question on there, from people who want to use gcc for closed-source software, but are not sure if it legal to do so. The answer is yes, you can use gcc for commerical closed-source software. Dave
