Hi

There seems to be a licensing inconsistency about libc++. The website states
that libc++ is dual-licensed and the top level LICENSE.txt also states:

-------------
The libc++ library is dual licensed under both the University of Illinois
"BSD-Like" license and the MIT license.  As a user of this code you may choose
to use it under either license.  As a contributor, you agree to allow your code
to be used under both.
-------------

However each source file is licensed under Apache 2 with LLVM Exceptions
and they point to https://llvm.org/LICENSE.txt which does not mention anything
about a dual license.

It would be nice to clarify this.

Thank you
