True that, but from what I read, they were originally financed by the US
Air force and are obliged to release their compiler to the public
because of the funding they received.
Of course this won't help should they go out of business, but I was
under the impression the GPL version was something they had to do.
I wouldn't mind paying for a compiler either, from what I hear it is in
the range of several 1000 $$ but it may be worth it to get the support
contract with them
