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.

File a bug report.  I would expect Fedora to be careful about this.
