David,

"licence gun" is a bit strong to me.

The only difference with GPL is that you must give the source if you
sell the software to customers asking for them. In many many cases this
is just ok (except if you plan working in the defense area or some other
critical projects), so I still think it is perfectly possible to do
business with the GPL compiler and libraries.

Isn't this an option for you?
