Now, assuming IŽd sell programming manuals (which I have
written myself) to ordinary people (in Finland (EUROPE!)),
and included the DJGPP compiler to the package, would I
violate your copyrights?

 I guess any kind of commercial distribution of the DJGPP
is forbidden, but if the DJGPP is not THE actual product
sold (which is the programming guide generally about C++),
is it still forbidden? Even if I don't try to sell the
guide with advertizements of DJGPP? 

 Well, anyone can obtain the DJGPP from the net, even
"commercial" computer magazines include DJGPP on their
CD's and offer them for downloading in their mailboxes..
so in a way it wouldn't matter, but I guess it's about
principles.
