<<It sure does.  That's why you are using the gcc backend instead of
writing one yourself.  The GPL loophole appeals to your sense of
greed.  If you really were to "walk the walk", you wouldn't say no to
my request for a copy because you would be making your money just
charging for support.  I guess you're afraid of free market
competition.

The reason we say no to your request for a copy of the latest version is
that we do not want you to waste time as you did on 3.09. Apparently, you
expected free support on those problems, and got a bit upset when we
declined. Since no free support will be available on 3.10 either, we
will not give you a copy until we feel it is in reasonable shape for
a public release.
