No worries Theo. That's easy to fix. Just delete the GPL license and
copyright statement from the source files and replace that GNU shit
with a nice, clean the BSD license.

In fact, while we're at it, let's make a BSD licensed fork of GCC. With
a little regex magic, we could have the new BCC fork done by tomorrow.

(for those idiots who understand neither sarcasm nor copyright law,
please ignore this post)
