Ugh! I worry about free beer software. My main reason for liking free software isn't necessarily cost savings -- it's knowing the software police can bust into my house, go through all my computers, and I'll come out clean. No license tracking hassles, no licence conformance. If I like the product I can give it to a few thousand of my best friends and customers. And if the software stops being offered, I can take the last version and keep maintaining it if I have the ability or if I can find others with the ability and desire. So, anyone know of a real, honest to goodness free software C++ compiler on Windows? Is there by any chance a gcc for Windows?
