I have a question.
I will read or desire to read the source code of gcc, but if I for
example make some anotations or some work based in my notes, or I get a
idea of how to implement X thing, or I think that certain idea is nice,
and then I make my own compiler this compiler should need by under GPL?

Altought I consider a little opaque the concept of the "programm" in
that licence, but anyway, I like that you answer first this question.
Hope you can help me out.
