that's in response to the offer llvm made to give hand the copyright over to the FSF and integrate llvm to gcc. I had long been wondering why there was a llvm-gcc on apple machines a couple revisions back.
basically he claims he didn't see the original llvm offer:
>> "If people are seriously in favor of LLVM being a long-term part of GCC,
>> I personally believe that the LLVM community would agree to assign the
>> copyright of LLVM itself to the FSF and we can work through these
>> details."
> I am stunned to see that we had this offer.
> Now, based on hindsight, I wish we had accepted it.
>If I had seen it back then, I would not have had the benefit of
> hindsight, but it would clearly have been a real possibility. Nothing
> would have ruled it out.
> I wish I had known about the offer.
