> This code is licensed under a BSD-like license [8], and LLVM itself will not initially be assigned to the FSF. If people are seriously in favor of LLVM being a long-term part of GCC, I personally believe that the LLVM community would agree to assign the copyright of LLVM itself to the FSF and we can work through these details.

The leads of the project offered LLVM to the FSF and the offer was ignored because of Stallman's incompetent approach to email.

GCC's irrelevance and LLVM's dominance of the field are definitely his fault (even if there are other factors involved.)
