Sure. I am just trying to understand what use cases we would be
excluding in exchange for the convenience of not needing a CLA.

Would you mind doing a quick yes/no check for a few cases:

* Linking llvm statically/dynamically into a closed source program/library.
* Linking llvm statically/dynamically into a BSD/MIT program/library.
* Linking llvm statically/dynamically into a gpl2 program/library.
* Linking llvm statically/dynamically into a lgpl2.1 program/library.
* Linking llvm statically/dynamically into a lgpl3 program/library.

Thanks,
Rafael
