The FSF set up and runs this mailing list/newsgroup (help-gcc, gnu.gcc.help), and did so setting a policy about what the list/group is for. At the most general level, it is for promoting free software, not proprietary software. More specifically, it is for discussing GCC. Please keep in mind that the GNU project has a sociopolitical purpose; only its means are technical. The purpose is to promote the freedom to share software. We provide a place for discussions to serve this purpose. If that's not what you want to do, then maybe you've come to the wrong place. If you would like to discuss what you think of the FSF's policies, please don't use gnu.gcc.help. Such discussions are likewise outside of its purpose. Instead, use gnu.misc.discuss; that's what it's for.
