Hi Artyom,

This license is exactly the reason that we try to limit dependencies like this.  Note that it includes this clause:

This means that *anything* that builds with LLVM, whether they use vtune or not, would have to include a copy of the vtune license and acknowledge it in their application.  I'd much rather have this be an optional component that the configure script can enable when someone wants to opt into it.
