As someone completely out of the loop: Are openBSD switching compiler? Are they doing a fork from the 8 version? How was code relicensed in the first place?

How was code relicensed in the first place?
- pnako 7y agoFor them to switch (which is a lot of work), there would have to be an alternative to switch to. So it looks like they'll keep using 8 in the base system, i.e. maintain a de-facto fork (and probably provide 9 through ports).
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoThis would particularly make sense since it's effectively what they did with GCC for years.
