This =93 depending on where you obtain it from =94 is very important. In any case, if you have any doubt, read carefuly the licence header which you must find in *each files* of the compiler distribution you are using to compile your final application. To be honest, saying =93 depending on where you obtain it from =94 also implies that there may be some differences, like divergences in updates, and so on (a differente source, may means a different thing) What are you working on actually ? (if I'm not too much intrusive)
