I think any using Swift CLI tools would be bound to the same EULA as the Xcode CLI tools. I worked with a german developer that did all his Xcode work in emacs with GCC in Objective-C days. Somebody like to stand on ideals and complain and others like to get work done.



No, Swift is free software (Apache licensed). Open source is incompatible with EULAs. An EULA makes the software nonfree.


GCC is free and can compile Objective-C.
