Firstly, at risk of stating the obvious, I would just like to say that I am
very grateful for D.J.'s generosity and hard work, and his non-commercial
viewpoint.
Also, it seems that it would be easy enough to simply buy a commercial compiler
if the GPL is a problem. Unless I'm missing something, the main reason to want
to avoid distribution of the source code to a program is the protection of
financial interests in that program, so commercial would be the way to go--pay
to play--give a little, get a little. Otherwise, share a little. I'd like the
opportunity to learn from the source.
