I don't think that userbinator is complaining about gcc's licence so much as about the unnecessary complexity of the codebase. The accusation that I've heard levelled at gcc in the past is that the code is structured such a way as to make it hard to use parts of it with other proprietary modules. The consequence of this is a codebase that is less modular and more complex than necessary.
