GCC isn't a freely licensed compiler. The GCC compiler is licensed
under the highly restrictive GPL license.

For a freely licensed C compiler try the pcc compiler at
http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ .

You can also try clang at http://clang.llvm.org/ .

With a year, GCC will be replaced in the superior BSD flavored
operating systems.
