To be very precise, there isn't a Free alternative to gcc yet. If the GNU folks will continue with the whole GNU/Linux thing, I might just get bugged enough to write a BSD licensed compiler.
Does that mean you would have absolutely no problem at all in exploitative corporates taking your hard work, (sometimes) turning it into crap and making a huge pile of cash on it ?
Such corporates are technically very disadvantaged and wind up on the rubbish pile after sometime - according to the bsd developers (and i agree with this logic). And freedom is freedom even if it is the freedom to shoot others with your weapon - which imo is rather counter intutive with daily reality.
