I don't contribute to GPL projects. I have contributed code, cash, and
hosting for BSD-licensed and other freely licensed projects and will
continue to do so. I'll be happy when FSF closes up shop and Stalemate is
back in the gutter with a bottle of booze where he belongs.
Other systems like LLVM would be ok except they're not supporting anything
but Intel. That is the same kind of destructivness that makes Linux
dangerous only from a different angle. FreeBSD may have gone to it but now
they have the unpleasant decision of writing code that will compile under
gcc and LLVM or ceasing to support non-Intel platforms.
Until people stop using proprietary compiler extensions and learn the value
of portable code and how to write it, moving in this direction or that
direction is just bouncing the problem around and around and it shows no
signs of being recognized let alone any hope to ever be fixed.
