Hi Jordi, didn't expect to see you 'round these parts!

I'm not sure if this is true about osx-gcc-installer. But what I do
know is that osx-gcc-installer is definitely Non-Free. It's not built
from source, but produced by extracting files from Apple's installer.
A number of these files are not Free, for example the AVFoundation
headers. I'm not even sure why it would be distributable, except for
the pragmatic reason that Apple doesn't seem to have cracked down on
it (yet).

Sorry,
Dave
