FWIW, I fully agree with this.  We are in the progress of making LLVM more 
open and less tied to UIUC.  It is a gradual transition though, as UIUC 
(and Vikram's group in particular) has invested a lot in LLVM and thus 
deserves some recognition for it.  OTOH, as LLVM is growing to a broader 
audience, it makes a lot of sense to transition to LLVM as an open source 
project, where Illinois is one of many contributors.

This transition is currently underway, we are still working out schedules 
and details.
