It has no bearing on Mingw, so let's debate in the appropriate forums 
instead of here. gnu.misc.discuss is the kitchen-sink forum for such 
discussions. 

Note that Mingw runtime is license-free, and programs produced by GCC
doesn't impose any licensing restrictions on the resulting program,
unless of course you link with L/GPL'd libraries (LGPL has a different
impact, but it does have one) such as readline, libiberty, etc.
