  1. Learning to read the fine print on Borland C++ Can No Longer Be Used To Make Free Software? · · Score: 1

    Doesn't say that at all. Its fairly common legaleese that says, in a round about way, that you cannot distribute the source code provide by Borland with the compiler. Since Borland distriubtes the source for its runtime libraries to its customers, there has always been something that states that that source is the property of Borland. The key here is to read the paragraph heading and not jump to conclusions that satisfy your political principals. Redistributables are defined elsewhere in the license as files provided by Borland to the end user, certain of which are redistributable and certain of which are not.
