Any non-GNU compilers? sick of GNU copyleft

Take a look at the ACK compiler(s). It is a compiler generator for c
and several other languages that has reportedly been placed under a BSD
style license. The C compilers on the 386 and 68000 minix systems are ACK
devices. Googling (awk) comp.os.minix for ACK should give further info.

-i am C/C++ developer and having big problem with customers
-using our C++ programs. Sofar we use GCC on different platforms
-and have to use LGPL shared libraries. Because of the libraries mess and
-mismatch one has to distribute complete gcc lib chain within a product.
-Compiling comercial products statically and selling them is prohibited due to
-GPL/LGPL - the only possibility is to distribute libstdc++,libgcc...
-with the libs source code and link everything dynamically.
-
-I wonder if there is BSD licensed compiler that can be used for commercial
-purpose. Would be nice to find good replacement for GNU C/C++ libs/compiler.
-
-Thanks for any ideas.
