Dear Mr. and Mrs.,
In the first term of the GPL, you'll find the following sentence:
"Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the
Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only
if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of
having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on
what the Program does.´"
So my question is, whether the output of gcc/g++ is covered by the GPL, or
nor ?
Is it possible to develop comercial software with gcc/g++ ?
I would be content, if you would help me, in this way.
Thanks
Emin Karayel <nime@topmail.de>
