Hi Tristan,
Thank you very much for finding this! This definitely/explicitly
clarifies the license of Clank (even though many files didn't have the
license).
Since this is a variation of the BSD 3-clause license we'll be able to
include it in Apache NetBeans (this is a "Category A" license [1]). So
thanks for this research job you've done!
What the Clank library is used for is something we'll find out once we
are able to build and run it inside a future Apache NetBeans release.
Kind regards,
Antonio

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.

Hello, which License does the code have? 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

This appears to be the LLVM licences including the release Licence, so I would
expect we should be able to work with those licences?

Subject: [DISCUSS] [CND] Clank
Hi all,
It seems the CND cluster is using a library called Clank
(cnd/libs.clank). 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Clang which I think is obsolete now.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?
Thanks,
Antonio
