Dear GNU, Hello? I'm Anderson Shin([EMAIL PROTECTED]), director of IPEAN(ipean.com) company in South Korea.
To begin with, please let me introduce shortly about our company. We are developping EDA(Electronic Design Automation) tools that is CAD system for digital/analog IC/circuit designing. Our product name is Flowrian that is the IDE environment like MinGW or Visual Studio and it will be released soon(We are going to attend the DAC conference(dac.com) at California in June and our product will be released in August). And now, the Flowrian application can be interlinked with other C++ compiler tools, and the GCC is one of it, too. By the way, we think that the GCC is the best C++ compiler among all the others, and so we want to include the GCC crudely to our new product with GNU license. But, our product is commerical one, so we are sorry that we would not open the source code of our product. A purpose of including the GCC to our product is only for our customer's convenience, because if it couldn't be, then our customers have to download the GCC directly as themselves. But, if we can include the GCC to our product, it means, all of our customers have to use the GCC first, so we think that is good to GNU, too. However we always respect an opinion of the GNU. So we will follow your decision and we hope our suggestion will be accepted. Thank you for reading all. I hope the GNU grow much up day by day more. Best Regards Anderson Shin
