@tuliom I would mention the GCC compiler plugin specifically. LLD already links against GPL code via libgcc_s and libstdc++. Mentioning the plugin and not its licensing impact avoids taking a position on the implications of linking against other code from GCC.

But in the end, you don't need to convince me, but the LLVM community.
