No, in 13 years I've been hanging around here there is just a 
severe lack of resources. If the market had real interest and 
resources for a BSD/MIT licensed tinycc thing, then someone would 
be done it a long time ago. It would have been much easier to 
start from scratch as BSD/MIT rather than try to switch this license.

But guess what? No resources. Nobody with gobs of time to expend. 
So, not going to happen, unless someone gets up and engage in a 
few man-years of work to make it happen. LuaJIT is a one-person 
project too. Sure LLVM has plenty of resources, but tinycc is in a 
different niche.
