I wish we could get with the times), I know that with gcc you can't
really sell the software closed source, but with Xcode can you? If not
what other obj-c cocoa compilers would you recommend to allow for the
type of distribution I need to do?
Uh, selling the compiled application is perfectly legal under the
terms of the GCC license. Xcode uses the gcc compiler.
Just to clarify even further: the GPL on prohibits *linking* against
non-GPL'd code (thereby making it behave like an infectious disease,
but hey, I don't want to get into ideological discussions right now).
You can use compiled GPL code for whatever purpose you want, even to
compile closed-source applications.
