After reading HN for a while, I have to agree with him. GPL'd software is being "phased-out" in favor of software that can be more easilly-exploited by corporations. LLVM is currently the best option of this.
Sadly, gcc is less modern than llvm, which means it's failing on it's quality rather than it's license. And the market is beginning to reflect that.

- yuhong 12y agoNot always, look at samba vs smbx.
- x0ra 12y agoWell, RMS shot his own foot with the GPLv3. While the GPLv2 is making its way in corporations, the GPLv3 is generally a show-stopper in itself, even if the licensed software is the best.
