In my opinion, it's not just about that aspect. Not having openess in an 
OS project is bad, but in this case, I wasn't able to make it to the 
meeting, and I've a strong personal interest in clang, and I'd really 
like to watch the State of clang talk.
Also the OpenCL talk (probably, as I don't know...) contains lots of 
interesting news about an upcoming technology which will be probably 
very important for every professional who wants to use parallelism and 
GPU computing power efficiently (efficient as in less dev time for more 
performance).
And that's just beside the bad PR which will be (probably) soon picked 
up by news sites.
Let's hope that the responsible person for this changes his/her mind 
soon,  so everyone can calm down.
