This is not about legal issues.  It's about FSF policy.  If I wanted
legal advice, I'd ask a lawyer, and rely on that advice (to the extent
that is possible), even if it is at odds with what the FSF or the GCC
developers presumably want (like an effective copyleft for GCC with
modules).


Discussion of FSF policy on licensing issues is also off-topic for
this mailing list.
