It could matter for ports, I do not know if it matters for parts in  
src. The commercial license is also the only way that we could get icc  
installed on machines in the FreeBSD cluster (if there's interest to  
have another compiler *for FreeBSD development* to check the source  
against... the warnng and error messages are better that those of gcc,  
I do not know how they compare to clang).
