Yeah, I guess that's right. It seems like since FIRST is handing out licenses of it that it should be fine, but I guess you are right.
Would it be okay to find our 2004 CD (as we are using the '04 RC) and give it to this user? We don't use the license any more...

Oh. Good to know. Sounds messy, though. I like Windows....somewhat.
Isn't there a way to adapt existing compilers to non-PC devices? I know that RockBox has devised a way to get gcc to compile to the processor of the iPod. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to how this works. I want to learn more of the lower-level design of our controller, and how the compiler works. I know that we have 2 PICs in our controller, but that's about it. Could we theoretically write our code in assembly? Sounds like fun...I think...
Sorry if I'm rambling.
