The less I say on this, the better. The simplest thing would be to look at the license even if it was given as a freebie. I'm no programmer but wouldn't touch any tool, however good even with a long pole as far as it works for MS . Its good GNU has been having lot of things on the Windows platform. I do make use most of them whenever I need to use Windows (i.e. under duress.) :bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh:
