Please don't use this newsgroup to tell people who to reach companies
that make proprietary software.  The purpose of this group is to
promote free software, not to facilitate sales of proprietary
software.

A week ago I brought up this same topic.  My posting must not have
been clear enough, because some people seem to have thought I was
objecting to criticism of GCC (for example, reports of trouble in
installation).  That's not at all what I meant; reporting facts about
GCC including unfavorable ones is not the same as promoting specific
proprietary products.  Posting information about GCC's deficiencies is
legitimate (and often very important for GCC's development).

Promoting products means recommending people buy them, or facilitating
buying them (for example, by giving the company's name or how to reach
it).

As long as you stick to the subject of GCC (which makes sense anyway,
since that's what this group is about), and mention other compilers
only in ways that help explain GCC issues, you will automatically
avoid promoting another compiler.
