I think it is sad because there is a lengthy delay for the release and for GCC 4.5 development while, at least as far as I can see, the whole discussion is not relevant for GCC 4.4. The new license exception is written to support a plugin infrastructure, right? But that won't be in GCC 4.4. So why can't GCC 4.4 ship with the old license? Gr. Steven
