Do we know what it's used for? It appears that the licence is included in the java files - https://github.com/java-port/clank/issues/3 - so it is maintaining the licence that was used pre-conversion.

Or can it be released under the APL2? If so I would try to integrate it back to Netbeans CND modul. Help is welcome. All the Best Peter github.com This appears to be the LLVM licences including the release Licence, so I would expect we should be able to work with those licences?

This seems to be a Java wrapper around clang, which was presented at "2017 European LLVM Developers Meeting" [1] Quoting: "The Java port of native Clang. The goal was to get the Java code as close to the original C++ code of Clang as possible" It seems the code is still available in Github [2]. I was wondering if we want to contact the authors and ask for permission to donate the code (or at least to set an Open Source License we can use, the project has none right now). The code seems to be very complex and uses a version of Clang which I think is obsolete now. As far as I can tell cnd/libs.clank (and cnd/cnd.model.jclank.bridge) are not required to compile cnd (not sure, though), so we can seek for alternatives in the future. Questions: 1.- Do we want to contact the authors? If so, how do we do this? PMC? 2.- Or do we want to seek alternatives to this module?
