I work for a company that writes software for firemen and policemen... our source must remain closed (company policy... I'm a big BSD/Linux fan 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?

Sure you can. Note that Xcode uses GCC, which is released under the GPL, under the hood. The GPL FAQ covers this very question at <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#CanIUseGPLToolsForNF>.
