BSD and Darwin derivatives MidnightBSD 0.1 is now available. It includes several software packages such as ksh, sudo, OpenNTPD, gcc 3.4.4, BIND 9.3.4 (plus patch), and others in the base system. "MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible, and soon amd64 compatible architectures. It was originally based on FreeBSD 6.1 Beta. The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind."

You should talk to FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, MirOS/MirBSD, DragonFlyBSD, PC-BSD... and any other BSD you can think and tell them to stop shipping GCC since it is dangerous and is licensed GPL. Seriously, this is a very common thing since there are very few viable alternatives.
