I have recently been wodering why FreeBSD uses gcc as the system compiler as opposed to whatever compiler came out of CSRG. Did that compiler have to be removed as a result of the lawsuit, or was it simply too old to be worth updating. Not to knock gcc, but I, as I believe many people think, would rather the base distribution be all BSD tools, or at least have a Berkeley style license.
