Linux remained GPL, compiled with clang or not. It didn't become possible to use Linux in a non-free way, did it?

> Linux remained GPL

Apple started to use Clang because GPLv3 was stricter than GPLv2.

That's why you can compile Linux with Clang, because Apple did not want to use GCC anymore!

That was a feature back in the day.

It forced corporations to adapt to Linux, instead of the opposite.
