[jira] [Comment Edited] (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=17007926#comment-17007926 ]

-----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks [~clr] . Categorizing LLVM as category X will certainly has a profound impact on both LLVM and ASF projects (There are already ASF projects that depends on llvm(e.g. arrow, tvm) and if we want to bring in projects that uses compilation to optimize ml, big data etc, llvm is necessary)
It would be great if we can be a bit more constructive and list the concerns and provide potential ways to address them(e.g. if we invite LLVM team to the thread).
For example, I understand your concerns about trademark, and a potential solution would be for them to correct the name and avoid using the term Apache License. On the other hand, one can also say that their the way of naming was also being very clear to the user about what it is in the license (Apache-2 + LLVM exemption clause).
It would be great if we can clarify a bit further about the "patent grants" part. From what I read far, the only added part in "LLVM Exceptions to the Apache 2.0 License" has to do with linking and "binary release" but not to do with the source code.

> 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.
