Is it bad I just don't care that LLVM has enabled non-free software? Because it has done a h*ck of a lot for opensource software. New languages, new compilers, new optimisers, new IDEs have sprung up around an impressive framework.

I also don't understand how LLVM enables non-free software any more than binutils does. I can do:

  binutils/cat my_file | my_incredibly_none_free_program | binutils/grep my_pattern

which is essentially how LLVM works.
