here is the license from intel pages for the OS X intel compilers

http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/compilers/cmac/ 
267042.htm

doesn't look good.
Even the non profit license does not seem to allow redistribution of  
their materials.
Which seems rather odd, since the libguide.dyli is no use to anyone  
who isnt using their compiers
or binaries generated by them,
so they only stand to gain by their redistribution with fast intel  
compiled binaries...


big business.....

i will ask for clarification regarding open source free software  
projects.
