Don't be naive, Darren.  He's telling it's your choice to write and release a
plugin for GCC under the GPL.  You can simply give them the finger, fork it,
start from scratch or use the intel compiler.

Which BTW is free for *use* (but not modification) as long as it isn't *used*
for commercial work, like the free compiler from Microsoft too.  Which reminds
me that this is an important distinction for the word *use* indeed.  Use of
software always reminds me of users, not software developers trying to "use" it
as the secret engine of their closed app...
