It’s difficult, though, as gcc’s been the only choice for so long.

It takes a lawyer to figure out what the GPLv3 affects. I’m not one. As long as it doesn’t encumber BSD-licensed code, it shouldn’t hurt. I imagine other projects are playing it safe. It may be worth looking up the debate to see if there was a decisive legal fact involved.

so all the other *BSDs try hard to keep GPLv3 stuff out of their system, but DragonFly imported GCC 4.4…

So is that GPLv3 license really that evil? Or does DragonFly not care about the risks (well there must be some, otherwise gplv3’d software would be in free/net/openbsd)

PS: anyway, I’d rather like to see clang or pcc mature and GCC kissed bye bye :-)
