That is almost true1, but completely misses the point. They are using tools(gcc) by people who count on their honesty to give people the same freedom they are

That is almost true1, but completely misses the point. They are using tools(gcc) by people who count on their honesty to give people the same freedom they are given. Get a better business model. Software copying has been happening since the beginning(since before people were charging for software)... learn from history. People who still complain about copying software are very silly, they haven't learnt from over 50 years of history. 1 not a lawyer, however -- with certain compiler switches you can include GPL software with gcc. For example if you link in GPL covered object code.
