Maybe you should make explicit that there is no problem using llvm-gcc to compile
proprietary code - there is only a problem if parts of llvm-gcc are included in
the proprietary program.  You do say that more or less a few lines before, but this
last sentence could great doubt in peoples minds.  Maybe you could offload the
problem onto gcc, and say that compiling a program with llvm-gcc is like compiling
it with gcc, and give a link to http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html which
discusses these issues.

Ciao,

Duncan.
