By acting on his own fears RMS is hurting the project. World doesn't stop because he doesn't like something. It feels like RMS lost touch with reality. Companies that care for things impossible with gcc already use LLVM, and will continue doing so. Some don't work openly but that doesn't mean useful code won't be pushed upstream. What's relevant to all - more often than not will. This is bad news for everyone because competition is good. I want two solid open source compilers. Look what happened with gcc error messages when Clang showed up: they were horrendous compared to what LLVM/Clang had to offer. So gcc had to catch up. But if it's impossible to compete in the race because RMS doesn't want to - everyone gets screwed. But I guess that for RMS it's a win-win situation: he'll have his proof that BSD-licensed software can kill one on GPL.
