Here's your chance to vote on the six most deserving applications. Steve Mallet has more details in his weblog." There's lots of good choices for applications on the list as well.

    With Windows, you can't touch anything up, no matter what.

    With Linux, you don't have to, but have the opportunity to if you like. And as long as the changes aren't publically released in any form, you still don't have to release changes.

    Not even Microsoft makes rights claims on software compiled with their tools. Why would you expect GCC to?
