	Perhaps if you work with the source code, maybe, but suppose you
are an end user of g++ and link with the standard stream libraries.

	Are you going to tell me that the GNU license agreement is 
displayed each time a user does a link?

	An end user of this compiler/library can NEVER look at source
code or the agreement.

	Are you saying he is covered too?

	Even someone who installs the g++ from scratch may only type
make and copy the resultant files off somewhere -- he also may
never read the GNU license agreement.

	Using source is one thing, but using the binary libraries it seems
is something else entirely.
