You can sell everything that is compiled with a legal copy of a commercial compiler. That's implied in the license. (Borland has never received and will never receive any money from me except for my own copy of TASM and I surely won't get into jail by selling programs assembled with this. ;-) >If they choose a >GNU Compiler they don't need special licening. At least the compiler should be released under the _L_GPL. For me the "real" GPL looks more strict than the license of a commercial compiler: It requires you to release the source with your programs.
