They always hated every kind of GPL. Lattner had a vision and built something worthwhile. Two years after the first release, Apple decided it was promising enough to hire him. GPLv3 was just a place they decided to draw the line, and unfortunately, it has given many of their users a distorted impression about the quality/age of products like GCC. > Fedora is labeling it as GPLv2+ - so I misread that > $ rpm -qi make |grep License > License : GPLv2+ File a bug report. I would expect Fedora to be careful about this.
