@vv @cwebber proving the original was trained by the model or is in the model is quite difficult to do and is questionable whether or not it really matters anyway.
Chris Lattner was "trained on" GCC when he wrote LLVM. He studied it a lot. GCC compiles code C/C++ successfully, LLVM compiles C/C++ code successfully.
Both produce completely working bytecode and generally you don't *need* one compiler over the other to get an end result that is acceptable.
Should LLVM be allowed to have an Apache license because of this?
These are tough questions.
