Read original comment ↗> both clang and GCC are viable bases from which you make your internal tooling. License is not the only factor determining usability of a compiler wrt interfacing with external tools. GCC was deliberately designed to prevent such usage. See [VIDEO] at 2:22 for a direct quote from RMS on this topic.
Read original comment ↗Related, the reason why Clang was created is because GCC was specifically made to prevent it from being used with non-free software. You can find that quote around 3:17 of this talk: [VIDEO] It turned out to be easier in the long run to write a compiler from scratch, than to work with GCC.
