Hmm... gcc is open source... A company like this could ""simply"" alter
gcc to produce complete RTL output and then use their unfree backend
anyways? Given that they release the gcc-patch-source, am I right? Or is
this sceanrio merely academic?
No, doing so would be a clear GPL violation. If the distributed GCC contained
a facility to do this dumping, then doing what you propose would *probably*
be a GPL violation, but but it would be a much weaker case.
