The developers are also making much progress in a GNU-free C++11 stack. For FreeBSD 10 they're aiming for Clang as the default C/C++ compiler, deprecate GCC, and to have a BSD-licensed C++ stack. http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/press.html#story201205:04 http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/press.html#story201205:04 Sat, 12 May 2012 00:00:00 PST
