That's not what he meant. It's to obvious that you can decide how to licence your code. What he says is that code written in BCB can only be changed if you have the right compiler (especially with the language extensions they need). Therefore, you can release the code for free but nobody can recompile it without the proper compiler (for which they would have to pay). His suggestion is nice though: seperate the compiler and the IDE. It's the IDE that everybody wants (RAD) and the compiler is actually secondary, so make it binary and free (in the sense of gratis).
