I would certainly be willing to pay this for an unencumbered copy. That is,
I get the use of the product and runtime with no additional charges, and one
copy of bound, hardcopy doc (which I hope is better than the regular gcc
doc btw). Even better if GPL is nowhere in the equation. I don't need the
source to the compiler, I just want the executables for 32 and 64 bit and
whatever libraries I need for the runtime. They can license their runtime
however they want, as far as I am concerned it belongs to them. I mean a
proprietary license would be fine. At least this is what would appeal to me.
