I'm concerned about the gradual move from GCC to LLVM. The lack of copyleft protections on LLVM means that it's much more dependent on corporate sponsorship, and means that there's a risk that major improvements to LLVM compilers will only become available as proprietary products.

People underestimate the role of copyleft licenses in preserving long-running FOSS products like GCC, Linux, etc.
