GCC still has time to relicence if they want to survive.

Why would GCC relicense? It exists for the license, not the other way around.

The entire point of GCC and the GNU project is to have an entire system with only free software, and the way to achieve that is not by allowing in more proprietary code.

Let GCC die if it has to die, but changing the license would make it meaningless.
