Wrong. Perhaps you should read the notice again? Or take a look at
the software on the NeXT? You can use it commerically *if* you also
distribute source code and make available the compilers for a media
charge. MIPS, Alliant, NeXT haven't hand a problem selling their
software. There are also restrictions I have not followed on the use
of the g++ libraries, but this is not a particular problem to others,
apparently.
See gnu.misc for an ongoing discussion of the exact meaning of the
FSF's General Public Licence.
