[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-494) Compatibility of LLVM's ASv2 with
Extemption
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-494?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17007883#comment-17007883 ]
Craig L Russell commented on LEGAL-494:
---------------------------------------
There is a discussion on legal-discuss about what we should recommend to people who want to derive their own license from the Apache License.
But LLVM definitely does not conform to what we are discussing.
The part regarding binary releases seems innocuous. But the part about patent grants is confusing.
For now, I'm recommending that we consider the LLVM license at
[https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/master/LICENSE.TXT] as of today January 3 2020 to be Category X because it violates our trademark and confuses people.

> LLVM has been upgrading their license to Apache with an exemption clause. Our projects include some of the llvm related code in 3rdparty(which is also under MIT atm so it is fine). But it would be great to evaluate the compatibility of their new license.
