[LLVMdev] MASM Backend

[Henrik Bach]

Hi LLVM'ers,

has anyone read the license details for MASM32 and understood how these fit 
in with Open Source projects, especially GPL? - As far as I can see - no one 
is allowed to license projects under GPL or at worst other OS licenses nor 
the deritives of the project, if you're using MASM32.

Are the MASM backend compatible with the MS version of MASM or other not so 
license restrictive versions of or similar to MS MASM?

Henrik.
