FreeBSD has it's own copy of gcc so any change in gcc doesn't automatically change FreeBSD code and licencing. Can you explain it more precisely privately? thanks > FreeBSD is heading the right way: bringing BSD toolchain to the world and > fixing world compilation with gcc46 from ports would give anyone a choice on > which compiler to use keeping GPL out of tree. the right way is to use best performing tools as long as no law problems exist.
