Will someone clarify what "free" means r.e. gcc binaries? I am under the impression that the includes and device drivers supplied with a Unixx OS are copyrighted and proprietary. In that sense, you can compile gcc and run it on your system only if you have already paid for a C compiler and the system includes -- and by extension, you can't ship the gcc binaries to another system unless that system also holds a license for the includes. I'd appreciate opinions on this issue.
