I was under the (likely incorrect, please enlighten me) impression that the meteoric rise of LLVM had more to do with the license allowing corporate contributors to ship derived works in binary form without sharing proprietary code. - NightStrike
You are correct. LLVM is under the Apache License Version 2.0, which is a free software license compatible with the GNU GPL Version 3.0. But the license comes with LLVM Exceptions that nullifies the Apache License, because it then allows others to embedded their work into object form. Furthermore, it continues to nullify the Apache License by allowing patent treachery. The LLVM License is thus a perfidious license intended to allow the licensor to sue you at their choosing. Consequently, the LLVM Owners are being extremely dishonest, because they are using the words "Apache License" to trick people into believing that the LLVM License has anything to do with free software. It does not. Regards Christopher
