It could matter for ports, I do not know if it matters for parts in =20
src. The commercial license is also the only way that we could get icc =20
installed on machines in the FreeBSD cluster (if there's interest to =20
have another compiler *for FreeBSD development* to check the source =20
against... the warnng and error messages are better that those of gcc, =20
I do not know how they compare to clang).

Bye,
Alexander.
