other Free Software and OSS licenses are represented as well.
To use the benchmark itself requires a license from SPEC.
Hmmm, GPL viral?
This raises a really "interesting" question about the depth at which
open source GPL code is embedded in a tool when the viral clause kicks
in.
You can't be serious here, Dr. Red-Green-Blue.
Gcc has been part of SPEC since, what, '95 ?
You can compile and run GPL'd code all you want - no restriction there.
It's only when you want to distribute changed code you have have to
supply source.
Please, we've seen enough of this Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt ...
