I said it was created by him while he was at Apple: > While it’s true that Lattner worked for Apple while he created Clang and that his personal contributions were probably biased But it wasn’t silo’d into Apple and then released to the open source field, it was created as an open source project under the LLVM Developer Group from it’s inception. So yes, his contributions and goals were to make it targeted for Apple’s needs; but there were plenty of independent contributors that were focused on just making it a good C/C++ compiler front-end for LLVM and were more focused on making it a general competitor to GCC. It would be more accurate to refer to is as an Apple sponsored project.
