[PATCH] D56963: Update the license text on the release page to telegraph to users about therelicening.

[Chandler Carruth via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

chandlerc created this revision.
chandlerc added reviewers: hans, lattner, hfinkel.
Herald added subscribers: arphaman, mcrosier, sanjoy.

This mostly makes it clear that there will be a change with the next release,
and that the text here only applies to the releases.

We need to remember to update this for the next release.
