I know I'm depicted here as a "concern troll" or as a "RMS fanboy", but I have to admit that
I really appreciate the fork solution proposed by Jonathan.
I agree that calling the fork GCC would be a mess for everybody, but I would appreciate a
proper fork with a new name because of the clarity it would bring on the table.
You could call it Open Compiler Collection, OCC, or someting like that.
Personally I would consider to keep using GCC and I could contribute my port to the
GNU project as I planned to do since its beginning.
But I'd expect a more, varied, international and indipendent leadership on the
GNU Compiler Collection.
One more focused with freedom and less with marketing and US-interest and
moralism, be it economically viable or not.
I even think that in the long run, the two projects could explore different and
interesting technical paths, and even cooperate as peers.
Or maybe not.
But for what it matters, I would welcome the clarity a fork would bring to the ecosystem.
Sincerely,
the "new talent" you'd never want to attract! :-D
Giacomo
