Actually, no.
OK, this might have finally happened and I have been trolling bsd fanatics about gcc since at least 4 years (maybe more). Not an expert on compilers, but gcc has some extensions like __gnu*, some of which are widely used. Not sure how clang currently deals with them. Building just the kernel with clang is likely possibly, but bare kernel is not a distro. Till recently, I believe one couldn't build desktop environment only with clang, might be wrong on this. Unrelated: I am wondering why bigcorps like google/linksys use linux, when they could have used *bsd like apple/juniper.

GPL when something is everyone's property,
Unless you're not "in", then suddenly they get ugly like you broke their communal bong hit or something. They used to cry if you didn't pass the code around, now they sic their lawyers on you. That's not very free.
BSD when you ... just don't care.
Exactly, everyone is in, do whatever you want. And it's almost as unlimited as you can get under today's mandatory law for those who say copyright is fiction. These days BSD says basically two things: 1) Do what you want. 2) Author disclaims liability.
It's hard to be more free than that under current law, yet...
