> Is icc GPL? No, but it doesn't need to be if you are running code w/o reselling its binaries. The licence Intel mandates for the "Evaluation Licence" of Linux compilers is such that only the resale of the output of the compiler is limited, if you don't have a paid licence. Running the code on my own production servers is not prohibited by the Intel licence, for example. You aren't running "100% pure GPL" code if you use nvidia's graphics drivers for X11, or various companies' audio drivers. Even MySQL AB acknowledges using ICC is good for a significant boost in performance, when targetted appropriately. In vero, Qualitas, =MB= -- A focus on Quality.
