<<Just a short question. I wrote a BASIC language that allows newbies =

neccessary to fully include the whole source code for all gcc =
executables, or is it OK when I insert a http-link to the source codes?

A link is fine, there is no requirement to distribute the sources with
the objects, just to make them available, so a written offer of availability
is fine, and a pointer to the original location of the sources is just fine.
Be sure that if you have any modifications, you DO include or point to the
necessary patch files.
