GCC, Свобода и прочая всячина Опции

[Litkevich Yuriy]

Несколько цитат из рассылки GCC:

«interfacing to gcc internals is strongly discouraged unless this is going to be part of
gcc itself. We can't allow outside projects to use gcc internals. We can't guarantee
stability of interfaces, and we also need to prevent people from trying to violate the
GPL. This is an FSF policy. In order to protect the value of GCC, and in order to
prevent people from using devious methods to circumvent the GPL, we are not
allowed to let outside projects use gcc internals»

«Of course, the code is GPL, so you can write your own interfaces if you want, but we
will not be able to accept the patches. GCC changes at such a rapid pace that it is
very expensive to maintain your own patches, and hence this discourages most
people from trying. If someone is able to do this using existing gcc features, then we
may obfuscate the feature to prevent this use.»
