[llvm-dev] GPL Software

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

I'm not sure what your subject line was about, but just as a caveat:
Talking about legal things (like licensing) is something frowned upon -
most of us won't touch that subject (we leave it to our lawyers) & will
discourage anyone else from doing so for similar reasons.

If you were mentioning GPL (none of which LLVM is, if I recall correctly)
as a way of describing open source software in general, or software without
a support contract in general - yep, that's basically how it is here. Most
of the community get paid to work on this for our own customers/needs -
while we work with other community members to make sure our work doesn't
collide, is hopefully collaborative, etc, that's mostly what open source
means/is used for here.

That, and a lot of the people who know about the intricate Apple details
aren't around much - busy working on Apple internal things like Swift and
such.

As someone else pointed out, there's relatively few people who know about
this sort of thing.
