[expert] GCC 3.0 - Question on GPL

[Shahrimi Johann]

Hi all,

just a question.
GCC is a GPL, open source software and it comes with libraries that will be
used in the programs that are created using them.

These resulting programs that we developed, do they fall under GPL/Open
Source as well since GPL is otherwise known as Contagious License? This
normally means that if one used codes that fall under GPL then the resulting
programs are GPL as well. If one did not use any GPL codes other than GCC,
does that programs/software became proprietary or open source?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

Best Regards,

Joe
