[llvm-foundation] [cfe-dev] Holiday update on LLVM's Relicensing effort

[C Bergström via llvm-foundation]

Is there an elephant in the room? You missed what I'd think is the most
important number. How much of the code is or isn't covered? Congrats on
almost/maybe/sorta getting all recent work covered, but what about all the
work past that?

If you can't get this number higher.. congrats and happy holidays on losing
20% of your future potential contributions :)
