This is the same business model as AdaCore. You pay nothing for the
compiler. You only pay for support.


Actually... that isn't true about AdaCore any more. Unless you plan to
create GPL software.

Since they removed the GMGPL from the libraries, you DO have to pay
for the compiler if you want to produce closed source software.

They removed teh GMGPL from the GPL edition
https://libre.adacore.com/, but not from the FSF distribution
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.1.2

It is confusing.

If you're running linux or into building compilers then the FSF version is
an option. But I haven't heard of anyone successfully building gcc-4.1.2
for Windows using MinGW outide of AdaCore. Please correct me if I am wrong
(I hope I am).
