Intel's C++ Compiler costs $399 per seat plus $199 for each of Intel's performance libraries. It's not open source.

The BSD cc compiler is free-as-in-beer and free-as-in-freedom. I've used it several times to build linux binaries. Even the kernel.

And yet you'd have us believe that the "linux community" cheapskates go out and buy this?

Would RedHat or SuSE go out and buy it? Yes, they would.

They wouldn't... Stallman wouldn't allow it.

You've just outed yourself as an anti-open source troll.

Back under your bridge.

Oh, great. Now, you'll have to get your builds solely from them..
