Hi everyone,

I'd appreciate a little help in settling an argument I am currently having
with a colleague about the copyright implications of using gcc (or g++) 
to compile a program: 

Does the GNU public license imply that anything one writes and subsequently 
compiles using gcc (as opposed to any other C compiler) falls within the scope 
of the license? That is to say, would the author of the program then be 
forfeiting his normal copyright, thus prohibiting him from selling the binary
software for gain? Would he be obliged to make available the source code of
his software at, at most, some nominal distribution fee?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can clear this up for me.

Regards,
Martin
