Some users certainly are impacted by the license change -- there are in
fact quite a few companies that disallow their users using any GPLv3
software!
I think you're right that GPLv3 has no substantial impact on what you
can or cannot do with GCC, and therefore that most users -- once they
and their legal departments understand GPLv3 -- can go on using GCC in
exactly the ways they did when it was GPLv2. But, that doesn't mean
that it's not a major surprise to have an update release have a new and
different license, with which you might not be familiar.
